Very interesting. I play RS3 and made a helper tool[0] for tracking ticks. I noticed increased jitter on my MBair (~50-150ms) compared to Windows, but I chalked it up to the air being on a wifi connection. I wonder if your explanation's the real reason.

Watch some twitch while you monitor it - will magically go away I suspect

		Haaa. Confirmed. Went from 200-400ms (worse than I remembered) down to sub 30ms of jitter after putting on a stream. Thanks for the pointer
