Flash Player beta2 runs 3X faster

Flash PlayerJohn Nack has posted a note to let us know that Adobe has posted Beta 2 of the upcoming Flash Player 10 to Adobe Labs. An Adobe engineer pointing out that on Mac OS X this new build runs the GUIMark test suite some 3x faster than previous versions. That's VERY welcome news given that Flash has always been a thorn in Mac-user's side no matter which browser you use or how fast your connection is.




Unfortunately bad for youtube

Although this flash player is awesome for most applications, like games (tested it with Boomshine and it was faster), I've found that youtube vids become incredibly pixelated! And a although its not a completely necessary capability, lets be honest, we all watch youtube videos.





Thanks for the info

I've been reading up on it the last few days and there appears to be quite a few "issues" out there, so maybe waiting is the prudent thing to do at this point.
