Flash player slow: Intel GMA 500

Question

HiI've been testing the new flash player 10.2, and while walking fairly light compared to theflash player 10.1, still walking quite slow with the videos in HD. (does not reach 20 FPS)Worse, every time I put full screen on youtube, the FPS drop dramatically, even to less than 5 FPS.My PC is:Asus EEEPC 1201 HAAtom Z 520Windows 7 Home Premium2GB RamIntel GMA 500 (was supposed to be supported video acceleration for the video card, considering that supports H.264 video acceleration up to 1080P.)Thank you very much for having this forum to report problems.

I have the same issue here. The latest flash player (11.1) doesn't even play 360p Youtube flash videos without like 80% CPU load (Intel Atom) and stuttering. System is Windows 7 Prof. 32bit, browser is IE9 or FF8)

OTOH, the same Atom Netbook (with Intel GMA 500 graphics) plays HD video (mp4 AVC), windowed or fullscreen, with almost no CPU load in VLC or WMP.

Strangely, in Google Chrome, it IS possible to watch 720p Youtube flash video with very low CPU usage.

So, what could be the culprit for HW acceleration not being used by Flash in other browsers than Chrome?

Thanks already to the Adobe flash support team for your reply,
