Adobe flash: Render quality?
I am sitting on a atom laptop, and i notice it chokes on flash.I also used chrome for a bit, until it crashed. The point was that there was a plugin that allowed one to override the render quality, to low or medium instead of high, which enables a lot of video and flash games to be smoothly played on the netbook.
So I am wondering if there is a way of doing this on Opera?

Sorry, deleted my previous post.

Indeed, I didn't notice because I rarely right-click a Flash object.

I don't think it can be done but if a Chrome extension can do that then our 2008 magical scripts COULD (I strictly DO NOT guarantee) work too. Install the following UserScript with the following steps -
1. Go to http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/38994.user.js
2. Press Ctrl + A and copy the selected content to a text editor like Notepad.
3. Press Ctrl+V to paste it and then click Save. DO NOT SAVE THE FILE NOW; READ NEXT STEP CAREFULLY
4. In the Save dialog box, in the Filename field type "flash_lowquality.user.js" (WITH QUOTES)
5. Save it to where you want and now open YouTube for an example.
6. Right-click a free area on Youtube homepage and select 'Edit Site Preferences...' option.
7. Click the Scripting tab and now click Choose button.
8. Now browse the folder in which you saved the UserJS file.
Now try to watch a video. I STRICTLY DO NOT GUARANTEE that this works or not.

In userjs, you might be able to use window.opera.addEventListener("plugininitialized" to check if the element is loading flash and if it is, set the quality attribute to low and remove and reinsert the object (set a flag on the element first that you check in the plugininitialized callback so you don't do that element again).
<http://www.opera.com/docs/userjs/specs/#evlistener>
To detect that it's a flash object, you could check that the element has a type attribute of "application/x-shockwave-flash" or a src or data attribute (or src or movie param) that has ".swf" in it. Or, you could check the object to see if some method is present that only a flash object would have.
Now, if flash has some kind of setQuality() method that works without reinitializing the object, that'll make it even easier, but I don't know if flash has that.

It worked quite well.
What? That UserJS or burnout426's (Michael A. Puls II) method? I need to know because I am curious if the UserJS script I mentioned works or not?

interesting, I tried it as well, doesn't work.. Perhaps it stopped working due to Opera update. I find many user scripts not working without really any way to find out why... (Gee, thanks Opera devs, it's not even in error log).
I tried another script like this and it's still working, here:
