Significant lag on Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB)

Hi y'all, I'm very new to Raspberry Pi and just migrated my FS42 setup over to a brand new Pi 4 w/ 4 GB RAM.

It mostly works perfectly, but I'm noticing consistent bouts of video+audio lag while watching. It's the worst on the guide channel, where the audio is almost always stuttering and clicking. (I'm using the default guide, not the custom web version.)

Is there anything I can try to get smoother performance? All of my media is 720p currently, should I try scaling the display down to 480p? Is it possible to run FS42 without the whole desktop (headless system)?

Thanks y'all!
