Slugish video playback

I have problem with video playback on some pages, frame rate is something around 10-15fps whereas one CPU core is fully loaded (I'm using Intel i7). Example of such page is at aol.com - i get to it from the default Maxthon's home page :)

Please try this one for example

Note: it uses flash for playback.

Note: i've checked i'm having the latest version of flash according to this thread http://forum.maxthon.com/thread-13920-1-1.html

The same plays absolutely fine in Chrome - no 'slugishness' and CPU usage is around 3-5% (of all 8 cores), Maxthon takes 15% (this is more than 1 complete loaded CPU core).

Video rendering correct here, but indeed a lot of CPU used. Probably because Maxthon no longer support GPU hardware acceleration.

With the 4.2.0.2400 version (the last who support GPU HA) usage of CPU is decreased about 20% with my configuration!:'(

I think it's depend to the supplementary software over Flash (Smartplayer for your first link). I already noticed as Maxthon consume more ressources when specific player is used (maybe because Maxthon is first programmed to use internal DLL Flash).
