I don't understand where you're coming from on this. So what if it is a graphics issue? Isn't this the very question asked by the OP in this thread? Aren't we all here to give support as needed?

My simple answer: there is no right answer. You should experiment starting with default settings. Then turn off HA and see if there's a difference. IF HA is a problem, you'd most likely notice it with video/audio not playing correctly, if at all. And play with the content process limits if you're running high on memory (check task manager - CTRL-SHFT-ESC) or FF is bogging down until you find the right one.
