On the rare occasion I want to watch a video, I use get_iplayer or
youtube-dl, then watch it in mplayer which is a much nicer UI (keyboard
controls, for a start). On the rare occasion I’ve watched a Flash video
fullscreen, I don’t remember having any problems.

On the other hand, 4096 processor cores would be pretty awesome.
