Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately I don't know the Elisa development environment enough to know where to specify the qos property. Can you point me to this pigment-python example that plays video? I'm a developer, just not in Python/Elisa.

You can get some invalid playback times, but it can fix your framedropping issue.at the end, the problem will probably be in the pgmsink which renders on opengl every received frame, try playing the video with a pigment-python example and compare the CPU usage.
