[Bug 367205] [NEW] Flash Skips Frames and Grinds to a Halt

[Ben Aultowski]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Playing a Flash video in Firefox in Jaunty (and the last several
versions of Ubuntu) result in the video skipping dozens of frames and/or
grinding to a halt and/or loosing sound as well as making my laptop's
(Dell c640) cooling fans go into overdrive. I can boot into Windows XP,
and never experience any of these problems.

I'd blame Adobe's Linux version of Flash, but right now, my CPU's fans
are already racing and I don't even have a page with Flash loaded. Then
again, they're always running at significant speed when I boot into
Ubuntu, and hardly ever kick in with Windows XP.

So, long story short, Flash exasperates a problem every version of
Ubuntu since Warty has suffered from. On a positive note, Jaunty just
now resumed from Suspend for the first time ever on my six year-old
system.
