High CPU usage during playback

Ever since I’ve upgraded to the newest version of Kodi 17, I’ve noticed that during playback my 2012 MacMini starts getting laggy, even if the playback is paused.
I then noticed that though the CPU is not at 100%, the Intel HD Graphics 4000 frames per second is full! Showing roughly 50fps, even though the playback is paused!

I’ve never faced this before. Once I stop playback, it goes back to normal, even if Kodi is still on.

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
