Sounds like you are running an nvidia GPU with the proprietary drivers. As of flash 10.2, VDPAU is supported for flash video decoding. This offloads virtually all the processing to the gpu. Of course this is also entirely proprietary and only Nvidia's proprietary drivers support it. Ultimately flash is a proprietary system, so there is only so much we can do to make it run better. My recommended solution for youtube/vimeo is the flash video replacer video plugin. Again from my basic testing, the big killer with flash on an XO is the limited cpu cache. -jon _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
