Another YT, Ad Block Question and Observation

I use YT mostly in the day to listen to music. I know there are other ways, but it is what it is.

After a lot of annoyance like most of you have had, I installed uBlock Origin in Chrome, cleared my cache and all was working fine.

Well, today I seem to be experiencing something new. Whenever I play any video, it stutters. I get about 2-5 seconds of solid play, then it hiccups for half a second to one full second. Watching the ad block counter on the uBlock icon, there seems to be a correlation to how many ads are pushed vs. the stutter occurence.

Anyone else seeing this? So far, YT hasn't made given me the dreaded "Disable your Adblocker" to continue warning. Instead, it's simply making the service unusable. I'm curious if anyone else is seeing this?
