You've got a data throughput bottleneck--most aren't aware that an flv has
to cache keyframes before seeking from keyframe to keyframe becomes near
"fast". If you play all the way to the end of the file you should be able to
seek back to the one hour point in a snap, but if you are at the beginning
of a file which has not played to the point you are trying to seek to you
can experience significant delays while the player caches all of the
keyframes prior to the point you are seeking to.

Even on hard disc there is a delay, and if you listen you'll notice your
hard disc will start crapping its pants when you try to seek.

I blogged bitching about these types of issues with the NetStream object
when you are using progressive playback. Tinic Uro mentioned that if we want
Adobe to do anything about this we'll have to make some serious noise:).
