I tried it the other day on my macbook pro (2.5Ghz), and it skipped several video frames every minute or so. The audio was fine, but the skipping was jarring and unwatchable.

The previous player ran very well on a five year old Dell laptop.

I had the same problem in Safari, but watching in Firefox works fine. I think Safari has issues handling plugins generally.

I also tested it briefly on Safari 4 and it seems to be better.
