Re: Slowness problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm writing from my brand new installation now. I actually installed Debian Squeeze, together with a new kernel (2.6.32-5-686). The problem which was majoritarly present when dealing with e.g. HD videos was coming from the fact that I was missing the nvidia-libvdpau1 package on the preceding installation (i.e. I did not install it). The problem was also present here (i.e. brand new install) before installing this package. After installing it, everything related to HD playing goes quite well. Now, for the intermittent slowness problems that I had with the previous (old, lenny) installation, I still can't explain them (anyway, they are only past). I've however understood why HD videos were read that slowly.

Moving to and empty Firefox profile should go in a later stage if none of the above makes a noticeable difference because regardless the nature of the problem, running updated versions of Firefox and flash player is nowadays a must for security reasons. Ok :), I guess it doesn't matter how to start, but I might be mistaken. At least I agree regarding to Gnash or FlashPlayer, when YouTube is in play. Hello OP, do you use Gnash or FlashPlayer? I suspect you already use FlashPlayer ... however, get latest version of the proprietary FlashPlayer. I suspect that less people on this list like FlashPlayer, but the web is based on it and we hardly can abandon it, it's a PITA.
