Well, after a bit of poking around it seems that the problem isn't related to
the pointer being hidden(I managed to reproduce it while the pointer is still
visible, but the video lags).

1) Yes, this is through Xwayland
2) No, there are no processes that use more than 1% CPU(and they have the same
cpu % as before playing the video), it's just chrome that uses CPU.

Is this going through Xwayland?
One thing that comes to mind from hiding a cursor is that some other surface
could be promoted to the cursor plane given size and format restrictions.
