No clear reason why that I could see. * Video is jumpy and it barely plays anything back smoothly.

Flash video is a complete joke, and if it does play it will drop frames like mad and the audio often stutters - *even* if you allow the entire video to download before playback. * The browser is almost unusable on certain sites.

It is painfully slow most of the time. But, I'm not being drawn in to this argument any more. It's circular.
