We do know it takes a longer path to get to video. It goes through the web rendering pipeline, which adds some overhead and we're working on making that better. It’s not true that we don’t care.

And I'm not just talking about it not using DirectShow/GStreamer/QuickTime for video on their respective OSes (Coming Soon(TM), I hear), but from a performance point of view, it's abhorrent. A quick unscientific test with this video had top showing firefox using 40-55% CPU while playing, whereas mplayer never went above 10%. OK, it's not as bad as Flash (blip.tv videoes use 75% CPU in firefox vs. 15% with mplayer), but still terrible. (1.73GHz Centrino) But apparently noone cares about p***ing away cycles for no reason these days. Sorta tangential. support in firefox is _terrible_.
