When running games via Proton and have Screen Grabbing enabled, there's noticeable stuttering in game.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install Lightpack via .deb package
  2. Select Mode > Screen grabbing
  3. Run a game via Proton Experimental (tested: Arma 3, DayZ)
  4. See noticeable stuttering in game
  5. Change Mode to Mood lamp
  6. Stuttering gone

The issue is also visible in some non-proton games, like CS:GO.
Forgot to mention, it is also eating some portion of in-game FPS, in Arma and DayZ it wasn't too noticeable, but in CS:GO it went from 220 to 120 when 'Screen grabbing' was enabled.

CPU usage is significantly increased when the screen grabbing is on, when a game is running it is shuttering and it looks like my CPU bottlenecks at 50% not sure why, maybe both process runs on the same 6 cores?.
