Huan, I got an eee 1000H (the 10 inch model) about two months ago, and I love it. I also have ubuntu installed and I think I have encountered the same behavior with firefox. Sometimes firefox hangs for about a second while loading a page or scrolling, etc. Flash videos (Flash player) often seem to overload the eee's ability to process/render, and appear choppy. I haven't spent any time researching this yet since it hasn't aggravated me a whole lot, but videos would be nice, and the eee should be able to handle them easily. My system is running vanilla ubuntu 8.10 with the custom kernel for the eee. I'll have to spend some time on this (after finals of course!) since it seems others are having the same problem.
