Bug Description
Jaunty LiveCD,
when played fullscreen Flash videos (youtube) become choppy, video stops for a second every 2-3 seconds, CPU load is nearly 100%. Same result on installed and updated Jaunty and Jaunty LiveCD (http://
Situation _worsens_ with compiz turned off (no desktop effects) as it seems to resolve the problem by dropping video frames instead of jerking up. Since I'm not using desktop environments the problem is more evident to me.
Same system Intrepid LiveCD - cpu load 20-30%, no stops.

I have exact same problem on All FoxNews.com videos, it is very choppy ether on small windows or full screen.
For me youtube works ok, but the FoxNews videos are very..very bad.
