Public bug reported: As far as I can work out (from performance) this machine is not using the graphics acceleration available in the installed Intel video card.
Although xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed, perhaps there are other video acceleration libraries or configurations which need to be loaded to benefit. Currently, using the following video as a reference loaded in Google Chrome, with HD turned off, and with the video embedded in the webpage (no fullscreening)... http://vimeo.com/44535515 ...I'm getting something like 4 frames a second, which seems slow even for this system. My guess is that there's something not installed or not configured, but there seem like a lot of options and I don't really know where to start. Perhaps libva-X11-1 would make a difference? There's discussion of Mesa, DRI and some PPAs to try like https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive /graphics-drivers/ , but I'd be testing almost entirely at random because I don't know how to diagnose the current situation. Happy to experiment in any direction which makes sense. Grateful for any help or suggestions, with the aim of being able to auto-detect this hardware in future versions to avoid the configuration step. Equally if there's a different way to load internet video which loads the proper accelerations, that would be useful to know.
