"Multimedia often skips or doesn’t display properly in the browser"

IMHO this is the #1 problem facing the Linux desktop.

The solution should be within reach - a properly tuned Linux system can
outperform Windows and even OSX for high end multimedia.  Unfortunately
much of the problem is application design - inability to run browser
plugins in a separate thread/process being the biggest.
