I can't do a differential since my old lenovo died. it was on that computer i experienced the problem. it had an old gma 965 mobile (?) intel chipset which supported at most opengl 2.1 and had no transform&lighting capabilities it seemed. right now i'm on a lenovo edge e530 with a intel ivy bridge chipset.
what i can say is that i do not experience problems with flash on my current computer, but if that is due to higher performance or better hardware capabilities that's hard to say. there might still be a performance regression without it being noticeable to the naked eye. you will have to run cpu utilization tests to confirm. specs for new box: OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ivybridge Mobile OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 9.0 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30 flash plugin at the moment: Architecture: amd64 Version: 11.2.202.262-0quantal1 old versions of flash player can be obtained here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to flashplugin-nonfree in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017153 Title: Regression in flash plugin >= 11.2.x Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I experience choppy video and audio in the flash player shipped with ubuntu precise (11.2.202.236ubuntu0). I am using the 64-bit version of the plugin. I investigated this further by downloading and installing older builds of the flash plugin and installed them manually. I found that the problem persisted across all the 11.2.x builds, however downgrading to 11.1.102.63 remedied the issue and video playback using this plugin results in smooth audio and video. Please note that this happens regardless of quality setting. For this reason I conclude it is a regression introduced in 11.2. You might want to enable users to downgrade to this version easier. Offer the old version for download as well until Adobe manages to fix this issue.
