Description

There were some reports about decreased video playback performance with the build 1.0.20 I'm currently unable to replicate those, hence i would ask you to test this out and report back how the version works for you.

Things to test

  1. versions prior to 1.0.18
  2. adding ReadIpcPath=$:* to sandboxie ini

it important to know if the issue was introduced with 1.0.18 and or of its related to the new memory isolation.

Research direction
Investigate video playback performance by testing builds prior to 1.0.18 and comparing with build 1.0.20. Also test adding 'ReadIpcPath=$:*' to sandboxie.ini to see if it affects performance. Check comments for user reports and potential reproduction steps. Focus on changes in memory isolation introduced in 1.0.18.
