There are some oddities with this flash version. For example...

This video plays terribly in fullscreen (html5, minitube etc,
fullscreen works great)

Shakira works great in fullscreen.

Now I'm really confused.

XFCE, Chromium, build from extras. Firefox has the same issues.

NVIDIA 7950 GT, driver 290.10.

Everything default, didn't change a thing.

I'm running XFCE, absolutely no video effects, I dislike those.

Top reports that chromium grabs 100% CPU.

Doesn't matter, even 240p videos are choppy, while some (like shakira,
work OK with 1080p...). Unfortunately most of the videos are choppy.
