flashplayer stucks after upgrade

Hi!
I haven't upgraded archlinux for about one month and after I did pacman -Syu today flashplayer started stucking every 5-10 second and is frozen for 2-3 seconds and then again. Not only streaming video/audio, but flash games and banners also. It doesn't load CPU a lot, the whole system works perfect, but flash... It doesn't depend on browser - chromium, firefox - it stucks everywhere.
Before this upgrade it worked perfect.

Some info:

Linux axell 2.6.36-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 10 20:01:53 UTC 2010 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 900 @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Video is integrated Intel (it's a laptop).
no compositing anabled.

extra/flashplugin 10.1.102.65-1.

P.S. Found just now - opera browser freezes like flashplugin - but the whole browser.

Please, help ;-)

I have the feeling that this isn't a flash problem. You may have encountered this bug Link

If you have encountered the bug you can either downgrade the kernel to 2.6.34, use the LTS kernel or compile the latest kernel with the patch that was linked at the end of the thread.

Re: flashplayer stucks after upgrade

Seeing that the upgrade might have upgraded a huge number of packages, it would be difficult to pin-point which package/packages are causing issues for you.

That's why its advised to keep your system up-to-date if you plan to use any rolling release distro like Arch.
