I don't see an improvement in 40.0.2185.0.

Some YouTube videos have distorted sound, for example this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u4ZLGsw1zo

The video plays fine in Safari and Firefox.

Attention, turn down your volume before opening the clip. The distorted sound is very loud.

Looks like I solved the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling Flash.

*EDIT*: After reinstalling Flash the playback issue was solved just for a short time. Now jerky playback is back. I compared with Firefox and playback of the same clip is just fine in Firefox. Same for the image gallery browsing, again comparing Google image search with Firefox clearly shows the poor performance in Epic, especially when clicking an image.

Attached you find the screenshot showing the task manager while playing a YouTube video. The playback in YouTube is jerky.

Also, if you click the Battery icon in the menu bar it always lists Epic under "Apps Using Significant Energy" no matter what kind of content you browse.

No extensions are installed. I can verify the performance drop if you provide a download link to the previous Epic version. Maybe the RAM and CPU usage didn't change but scrolling with images seems definitely more jerky.

I also notice little dropouts during video playback in YouTube while the video is still loading.

It seem the latest release has some performance lack, especially when viewing images. Activity Monitor shows peaks 96% CPU usage and also the Epic helper apps consume quite some CPU power.

Can I download the previous version somewhere?
