But, all the <video>/ audio implementations suck (I mean really suck) performance-wise on older computers. Flash and VideoLan's Mozilla plugin blow them away ... so far. The VideoLan plugin has *awesome* Theora performance (be cool if browsers could use its decoder), but all of this is probably just because it uses hardware acceleration and <video> implementations don't yet/can't. Still awesome news though! -- Michael
