Flash is slow on Eee PC 1005P

Flash movies (Youtube, Vimeo) is slow. I don't know what's wrong. My Eee PC is set up properly according to the wiki page. Is it just that powersave has a low frequency setting or Flashplayer on Linux is horrible?

Flashplayer on Linux is horrible.
Eee PC 1005P is not the strongest computer.

Try downloading the movie and watching it from your harddrive - smooth, no hiccups, low cpu usage.

I don't know if this would help, but I actually force low quality flash on most flash stuff I see on the web. Try this Greasemonkey script:

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/38994

It'll force flash content to be played in low quality (flash itself, and maybe including the media, eg videos inside youtube video).

By the way, install greasemonkey (a firefox addon) first, if you'd like to try this out.
