Flash is responsible for slow load times.. Being a resource ***** with numerous memory leaks causes problems for both your system and your connection(as evidenced that things become faster once you restart your browser after being on a page with flash)..

Flash is the New ActiveX.. MS has tried to release silverlight(What Netflix uses and surprisingly already on version 3) to solve problems.. it does load faster.. but it's also MS and if you run linux you can't watch anything.. online video viewing is at its prime and i'm sure other companies will try to get in.

Wait, so if you download this silverlight thing on a lets say Vista 64-Bit, would it sorta replace flash and let stuff run a little faster?

Yeah um... that ain't rr light. I'll check mine here later but I gaurantee I won't get 23 mb/s. More like 1 mb/s.

no. silverlight is like flash. it's a tool that websites use to display video. it's totally dependent on the website. some use java, some use flash, some use silverlight.
