Eli, perhaps it would be wise to ask the reporter if he'd like it to be
turned off by default, if this problem can't be fixed in time.
Personally, I can stand a few minor glitches, given that double
buffering saves me from flickering, which has been an annoyance for years.

Bryan, which revision/year is it? I also have an XPS 15 (with Skylake
CPU) with 4K resolution, and at worst, I see the minor stutters you show
in the 1080p video (after adding the advice, yes).
Ubuntu 17.04 with Unity 7 here.
I wasn't able to compare with the revision before double buffering,
though: after checking out c29071587c64efb30792bd72248d3c791abd9337^,
