Flash player momentarily pauses, then continues

[paulney]

Since about several weeks ago any flash player (Netflix Silverlight, Adobe Flash) will momentarily pause at fairly regular intervals during the playback, then continue. This is not a buffering issue: it could be a completely preloaded media, and it will still occur.

The sound does not seem to stop, only the video frames freeze for a split moment, then continue. This only happens in Firefox, IE does not seem to have this problem.

Annoying the hell out of me, and I can't figure out what it is.

Help! Thanks!

This has always been a problem in firefox. There is really no way to fix it except close out firefox and reopen it.

Agreed. In fact I have scoured FF related forums and not come with any concrete fix that absolutely resolves this problem.

I have done the same thing but know one day somehow I will fix it. For now I don't really care but when I do there will be a way to fix it.

Yeah, I've started to overlook the problem off late as well.

I've had the same problem with flash on multiple computers.
It might be cache/memory related? For some reason, it happens on all the intel systems I've used (but none have more than 2MB of cache), but doesn't occur on AMD systems.
