Apparently PC Gamer is reporting a 15% CPU usage spike, on top of the throttled buffering.
Louis Rossmann has a video on it, too.

The last time I opened twitch was maybe six months ago. I clicked on a stream and was greeted with a 1.5 minute ad even though I had ublock installed. I noped out and haven't been back since.
I might have dealt with a 30 second ad, but 90 seconds?? Not a chance.
A few times Youtube's add was an extremely long documentary on some shithole black country begging for money so corrupt fucks and charity employee can drain most of the cash, and the rest spent on food dumps so blacks can keep making 6+ babies per woman.
I got served a two hour advertisement once. They have stopped that practice but in turn now serve up to two minutes of ads every five minutes and in particular, within the first two minutes of starting a video.
They're not just becoming cable TV, they're becoming WORSE than cable TV! And the sugar on top will be when, not if, they show advertising to Premium subscribers.
So...who's clicking the ads? Does their entire revenue model now run on grandmas tapping the wrong part of the screen while trying to skip?
