Flash lagging/freezing/not loading

Anyone else experience the above problems? For example, when I'm on megavideo, and watching something, and I start to switch tabs and stuff, the video will freeze. The audio will still continue but the video just stays on the same frame.

And then when I try to refresh to reload the video, the flash content doesn't even get loaded. Just displays a gray box where the flash content should be.

Also adding to the problem, at times X can freeze completly. Mouse can move around, sound plays, but can't click on anything. Everything except mouse/sound doesn't work. Including toggling between tty

Re: Flash lagging/freezing/not loading

People around the world feel your pain http://xkcd.com/619/. Every time Adobe releases an update that supposedly fixes this it gets worse. Maybe one day they'll realize that the easiest way to get rid of their bugs is making Flash open source. Either that or they should go on record discouraging websites from using Flash to deliver video. I mean really... who would choose to play video using a virtual machine designed for interpret a scripting language?
