I downloaded the builds and did some quick tests on Win 7 and Vista. Vista was very crashy and I have several crash reports from youtube.com

  • There still seems to be a video lag on videos playing on vimeo.com. http://vimeo.com/9543387 was the specific video I was seeing this on. We actually launched Chrome and compared the frame rate and the Lorentz build seemed to be slower. All the machines were running on the lab network and running the same version of flash (the one from labs.adobe.com that was recommended). I can provide more detailed information tomorrow.
• Bug 556153 OOPP: Very High CPU with three video sites loaded/1 video each tab
