Thought I'd add in an observation:  With Karmic, if I play a flash video
in fullscreen, it starts off playing just fine (e.g., youtube).
BUT...if I move the mouse, that's when it gets choppy.  If I stop moving
the mouse, it will usually resume playing properly.  If I move the mouse
and stop a few more times, it finally stops playing correctly even when
the mouse is not moving.  It almost acts like a memory issue between the
mouse and the flash player, where the mouse fills up some buffer or
something and takes up all the memory that flash is using.  I don't know
anything about the memory allocation, I'm just saying that that's what
it makes me think of as I watch it.
