Flash is now faster than Sonic

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 is now GPU accelerated. What this mean is you won't have anymore youtube lag while watching their extreme HD format. It's not CPU intensive anymore and the big 1080 videos are very smooth to watch. Even if you don't have a graphic card, it'll still run alot better then before. It's still in beta version, but in my mind, it's 80% better. Try it for yourself:
Windows (2MB)
Mac (9MB)
Linux (4MB)

If you like to make an experiment, this is what I've just done. Make a controled experiment by watching Sonic Werehog short in HD and full screen. Now download the 10.1 flash player and watch it again. You'll notice it runs so much smoother. I'm using a quad core computer for this experiment. Enjoy
