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.
