Horrible performance on 3D anaglyph youtube vid (100% CPU usage)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rA2TpcKmZMWith IE, CPU usage hits an average of 94%, which means my system remains responsive. With Opera, it's 100% from start to end. My single-core 3.0ghz chokes so bad the video pretty much becomes a slideshow while everything else "freezes" for as long as it's playing.
If I pause/stop playback, responsiveness returns.
Am I the only one experiencing this? 3403 here.
Thanks.

You must be the only one... plays fine with my P4 2.66GHz... not only is my CPU slower, but I'm also watching another video (documentary) on YouTube... however that is insignificant to what else I'm doing, and that's rendering an image, which has been rendering for more than 5 hours now, naturally that uses 100% CPU itself if it can (other side notes, IM, FTP & HTTP Servers are also running fine on the same box).
Windows XP SP3
2.66GHz P4 (HT Enabled)
1.5GB DDR (3200)
Radeon 9800 Pro (128MB 400MHz)
Opera 10.6 3403.
Edit (about 4 hours later): Next time specify "Full Screen" that's the when it slows down, to about 2 FPS, which is already a known issue.

Most of the modes used to work fine for me too with the exception of row-interleaved (which is the format my 3D hardware requires, alas), but now even the cross-eyed view (and anaglyph as the OP mentions) completely lock up my system until the video ends. (Opera 10.60 build 3403, Core 2 Duo 2.1GHz, 32-bit Vista business, Flash 10,0,45,2). That's in normal (not full screen) view (how can you click the full-screen button when your computer has completely locked up?)
IE isn't affected as badly.

kind of strange - as the playbock is solely a task of the flashplayer - not Opera, though it is known - sometimes Opera has problems with flash-plg-in 
still no need to compare it to ie - its disgusting.

i understand - still no need to use cursewords^^
the strange thing is - try using flash in private tab - thats SLOW - at 3-4 it gets nearly completely irresponsive, so even switching quality down takes half a minute or more. or am i the only one because of only 1,5gig RAM?

It's quite fast (75% CPU) here on the laptop with Core2Duo @ 1.5GHz... 480p even in full screen mode... There's some lag when the mouse cursor is over the player's interface buttons, but that's not the issue...
have you had issues playing flash or flash videos on your computer?
it could be the hardware acceleration that the youtube videos do by default that is doing it to your computer....
right click on the video and you see a menu pop up and i think the first thing you see is "enable hardware acceleration" with the box checked...
try unchecking that box and save your setting, and see if you notice a difference.
(if theres no difference go back and recheck the box and save)
if thats not the case try checking your registry with ccleaner
cause i remember a while back i was having issues with flash videos and games taking up a large amount of my cpu
and i have a dual core 2.0gHz cpu
and after i ran the registry cleaner in ccleaner i noticed the problem went away...
so thats a few things you can try

One of my hobbies is system optimization. I'm a performance-seeking freak so anything any slower than the fastest possible is not even an option for me. Granted everything's clean, no garbage services/apps running in the background, no viri, no spyware, no broken registry entries, no GUI clutter, etc, etc.
I had already tried the acceleration thing but it didn't make a difference. Works fine on IE so it's definitely something wrong with Opera.
