Is this using a browser, or a player on the system, like vlc or mplayer? What does your 'severe performance degradation' consist of? Dropped frames? Lock up? Artifacts?

What does top show happening on your system when you notice the problem? How about iotop? Is there lots of disk usage happening? Are there things like locate or other search aids running in the background to update their databases? Are you updating your system when it seems slow? Is your system memory constrained?
