My laptop (C2D T5600, Linux x86_64) isn't fast enough to play most
flashvideos in the browser. If I download the video with eg. youtube-dl,
MPlayer plays the video with 1% CPU usage max.

That's just incredible piece of shit.

IIRC the Linux community waited 5 years (2004-2009 (I'm not perfectly
sure if they released it 2009 or 2008)) to get 64-bit Alpha-version of
Flash released. The quality is still incredibly low.

I wouldn't hold my breath...
