I want to slow down flash player for a game. I found this

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=996155

But steps 4, 5, and 6 have me lost. Find what value, how? Set it how? Pause and unpause what how? You mean stopping the browser via system manager? That does what? I tried that, didn't seem to do anything, except cause some lock up with system manager for a bit. I think I am suppose to do something along with that, if that's even what it means by pause and unpause.

I found and downloaded a front end, Gameconqueror, but that was not easier to use. Trying to feel my way through and put in possible values of stuff caused it to lock up, often requiring me to force close it.

And to add to my difficulty, I am trying to look at memory maps in system monitor, hoping to examine its info and see if I can figure out what values to take from it to input somewhere. But it's impossible to use, it regularly updates scrolling upwards every few seconds. Which means I can't copy down its information, or even examine it. How do I stop this auto scroll up?
