I'm encountering the same problem, usually on YouTube:

Youtube videos don't play correctly. If I do nothing and just let the video
play, the video usually stays at one fixed frame until I scroll around the page
a bit. I have a pretty weak processor - 630 Mhz (standard downclocked Eee PC
processor), but when I just download the FLV file and play it in Totem the
video DOES play at full speed.

I wonder if I should file a seperate bug report because this thing has only
been reported in comments, it seems... This bug persists for me in a freshly
compiled 0.8.2.
