That overwrites GPU validation as explained in this OMG! Ubuntu! article (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/force-flash-gpu-acceleration-in-linux-improve-performance/).

I wasn't having that issue, but I tried that tweak after seeing on OMG Ubuntu, and I've seen a noticeable improvement in the quality of Youtube videos.

Speaking of YouTube videos, having it reload from the beginning whenever you go fullscreen is extremely annoying.

Well, it loads from the point the video was at when you go full screen to be exact. It happened on Ubuntu as well as Windows.

I know we're going off-topic, but 'it' doesn't refer to the start or position of something, just to an object, in this case the video.

Use HTML5, since Youtube support it.
