Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My pixel 6 showed a very low lag which I have never seen before I started looking for something and found it. If you run Parsec in the background, the delay in Moonlight+Sunshine decreases.

Describe the solution you'd like

It was possible without starting Parsec so that there was a delay of 6-7ms in Moonlight?

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried without parsec then delay 10-13ms

Screenshots

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior on a Pixel 6, measuring Moonlight latency with Parsec absent and with it running in the background. Investigate the difference before defining a change; done means achieving comparable 6–7ms latency without launching Parsec, while preserving normal streaming behavior.
