Last evening, I was watching HD videos using vlc on my atomic pi (running
debian 11) without issue.  I tried watching them on mpv and the video and
sound "stuck" a lot.

The atomic pi uses a more modern CPU than a 12 y/o laptop, but I think it is
only single-core and it does not have much memory, so it might be a fair
observation.  Your mileage may vary, though.
