Our plan is to improve video performance in a future release.
I've noticed that if a thumb drive has a large filesystem, even if
it only contains a small amount of data, it can have a large impact
on the time it takes to mount the filesystem. So unless you really
need it try to avoid the huge volumes you can get so cheaply
these days, or reformat them to the size you really need before use
(I've not tried reformatting but am assuming that would help).

In my experience though Youtube videos are almost always poor quality to start
with but I find them to be not much worse than if I was viewing them on an
actual Desktop versus the SunRay. Of course I have Squid setup to block Youtube
from my users cause they don't need to be wasting the bandwidth watching videos
when they should be working. I have a few exceptions though since some of our
employees have to watch videos of Music artists to do their job. None of them
has ever complained though so it must be good enough for them to do their job.
Only thing I can think of to get Youtube work better for me was to install Flash
9 for Solaris.
In general SunRays aren't designed for watching video.
I believe USB is USB 1.1 speed, so yeah it's slow for large files.
