I wanted to submit a ticket for my use case but I can't find a minimal program & setup to reproduce the issue. I just know it in my gut it has to do with the mix of multiprocessing (fork) + async + threading.
The author mentions compositors, but if you don't require fancy things like transparent windows or shadows, and you have a a well supported/behaved GPU and monitor, you can probably do without them if all you care about is tearfree video. Drivers like intel, ati, amdgpu and more recently modesetting have a TearFree option that does just that. For some systems switching to a DRI3/glamour setup is enough and as a last resort you can configure X11 and mesa to force vsync.
It had a JIT recompiler based on sljit.
