Full screen Flash slow in KDE 4

Full screen Flash slow in KDE 4 After upgrading my Debian unstable to Kde 4 a few months ago, the Flashplayer started to be very slow, especially in the full screen mode. Using Kde 3 I was able to watch full screen Youtube or IPlayer, but now the frame rate is somewhere around 10 fps. Is there a way to improve it?

"There's a few things that could come into play here such as which browser you are using, which flash plugin it uses and whether you changed your video card drivers at the same time you upgraded to KDE 4.

I'd recommend switching browsers and seeing whether that helps (at least narrows down the problem). So if you use the built-in konqueror, then try firefox (or vice versa). My guess would be that firefox with the Adobe Flash Player would perform better then konqueror with the free flash player..."

Have you tried disabling compositing in KDE before launching the FlashPlayer? Just press SHIFT+ALT+F12 to disable it temporarily.
