Flash player prior to version 9 had major performance issues on Linux (and performance issues in general). However, Adobe hired a lot of Linux/GTK+ talent and brought the Flash player plugin out of the stone age with version 9. FP9 on Linux is fast, and Adobe has committed to release updates for Flash on Windows, Linux, and Mac simultaneously, so the Linux version will never lag like it has in the past. Dig through some of the old posts of this blog while they were developing FP9 for Linux. They seem(ed) to be taking it serious. http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/ -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
