	Ah. You have a fast CPU.

	It's like saying "X works", when you don't have 3-D working. A major 
"feature" of the plugin fails to work. From my perspective, that means 
it *doesn't* work.

	Anyway, on many computers, including mine, playing HD videos full 
screen on Flash gets jerky. CPU can't handle it, and the CPU isn't 
supposed to handle it - the video card is.
