Flash video, not so > hot to being with, is totally unusable. unusable mean.s. u cant USE it..;. its so slow u cant function. its perfectly usable. it may stutter and pause - it depends on the workload. how much is fading/zooming/rendering. but i test it on a 600mhz penitum-m - its usable. as i said - maintians 20-60fps. that includes 20fp playing video which is software deocded too. i never said its silky smooth or unnoticeable. that it is not. this is software compositing at 600mhz penitum-m 1024x768: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESwhnWM1cKw > Should I expect better?
