Display lagging/hanging in certain programs [i3-gaps]

Hi!
Fairly new arch user here, running the latest linux-hynix kernel on an HP Spectre x360 2018 model. I've been running i3-gaps together with polybar for some time now, which has worked without problems. However, yesterday the display started to lag/hang in certain programs. For example, it lags while browsing or watching videos in Firefox, but not in Chrome. Here's links to videos demonstrating the issue:

Internally recorded video; no lag is shown here

Externally recorded video; here you can see the lag.

Important to note here is that as I was running KDE Plasma before i3, I still have that istalled. When I log out and enter KDE instead, the lag dissapears.

Being somewhat new to arch I am totally lost on what could be the fix to this problem. If you need more information to help I will gladly respond as fast as possible!

Cheers
