Flash video stuttering on MBA 2011

My first macbook, and it has issues playing back flash video, particularly streaming from justin.tv/twitch.tv. The sound and video will just pause completely. This happens in both osX and my windows 7 bootcamp partition. I've tried Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE. All have the same issue. Disabled hardware acceleration. Still there.

My dell m1330 has no issues at all, neither does my windows desktop. Its just my 13 inch 2011 macbook air.

Anyone have any insight into fixing this?
 
I have the latest version of flash. Tested the latest stable releases in both windows and osx. On the MBA they both stutter. I'll try a beta release.
 
Youtube is working fine; but I think it might have something to do with the apple/broadcom wireless card, as twitch.tv is a live stream, and the problem manifests itself in windows 7 as well on the MBA.
 
Yeah I was going to say its more likely your connection. This used to happen to me on my mbp (even youtube) I blamed it on the 320m but it actually went away for me after an apple update.
 
I just realized that I have no idea how to install a new driver in osx. Are there any 3rd party driver updates, or do I just have to patiently wait for apple to come up with a fix?

There are no buffer settings with twitch.tv as it is live. As for youtube, certain videos stutter at certain resolutions even when fully buffered.

Still having this problem after 10.7.1. I chose a great time to try Apple. Lion is junk.

Yeah, Snow Leopard was much better. Not liking the new features much, and full screen apps don't work at all with multi display setups (the app itself does go full screen, but every other display goes gray). Also Expose doesn't show minimized windows/apps anymore, which was the whole point for me.
