Probably not, but while unsupported, an option to fix at Flash 10.2 or 10.3 until Adobe reintroduce Stage Video (whatever they call it) would enable low power machines to actually *use* iPlayer, Youtube, Demand5, 4OD and other streaming video-on-Flash smoothly.  this is the crux of the issue.  A stopgap... Yes... But a needed one.  and much better a package so nothing breaks when accepting the upgrade to 12.04.

either that or whitelist Totem-plugins for full H264 from the Beeb and other broadcasters... So nvidia+atom users can actually USE their kit.
