Yes. I was watching that video just before the upgrade to 10.1 and it
was completely smooth. And then right after that I went to watch it
again and it was dropping lots of frames.

The other videos I watch regularly are the CNN videos. Although they
are still smooth, now the CPU utilization is much higher, more than
80%.

Are you using Fedora? What version of the Flash plugin? What is your
CPU utilization playing that video? What is the CPU?
