Bug description:
  Totem pauses and stutters during video playback even when CPU usage is
  low.

  After figuring out how to play videos with full hardware accelerated
  decoding (e.g. <= 10% CPU), I was surprised to find Totem still pauses
  and stutters during playback. Other apps like Mplayer, VLC and even
  gst-play-1.0 never have this problem.
