If you are providing the media URL then VLC is handling all the video decoding and jellyfin is just sending the file.
When you play a video in Jellyfin that requires a transcode jellyfin has to start up ffmpeg and build up a buffer before starting playback. Same thing when you skip ahead of where it has transcoded.
To be clear, what you are describing is normal behavior when there is a transcode. It is slower than if it was direct playing.
