Hi Joost,

A few questions:

   - What poll period are you using?
   - What other services are being monitored by Monit?
   - Does the video tear only occur when monitoring the video playback, or
   does it also happen time if Monit is running, but not monitoring the video
   playback process?
   - Can you produce a top output sorted by CPU usage when Monit is running
   and when it is not? (
   
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/158584/change-tops-sorting-back-to-cpu
   )
   - How are you starting the process and monitoring? Is it being started
   from another process?
   - Can you share your monit config (monitrc and config for monitoring
   Compton?

​
