To recap, the only part of my web experience that brings my systems to their knees is Flash video and Flash navigation. The former soaks up my CPU and blasts the fans. The latter is simply a poor design choice that makes navigation more complicated.
I am streaming the iPad keynote in my iBook G4 as h.264 and there is no slowdown. I'd love to see how the same video encapsulated in Flash would fair. Better example. YouTube on the netbook running Ubuntu 9.10 is very hit and miss (although the experience is better since Flash 10). The same videos in Totem as h.264 play back with nary a hitch. Both are streaming.
