Whatever work around you can find it will not change the fact that Flash 9 performance is lower than was under PR 1.1. End of story.
You can try blockers, different browsers, overclock N900 but will not solve the core issue that exist for sure.

could someone update a poll to have those options:
1. updated OTA or NSu, same performance
2. updated OTA or NSu, stopped working
3. Flushed, same performance
4. Flushed, stopped working
5. Flushed emmc as well, same performance
6. Flushed emmc as well, stopped working
so we are sure the way we update does or does not matter?

I set up the original poll - not sure how or whether it's possible to modify...
Feel free to setup a new thread for the purpose of polling this, and link back to here.
Thanks

Ok so basically I used the file from
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt
Essentially this file contains a bunch of ad site names and overrides the normal lookup of their IP - pointing them at localhost instead. So here is what you do.
Grab this attachment. unzip it somewhere. backup your N900's current hosts file. copy this hosts file to /etc/hosts on your N900.
Thats about it. Works well for me but I make no guarantees about yours etc.

There is another thread related to flash/video and adblock, see:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=682648
Could the problem be adblock related?
I haven't (yet) noticed any problems related to PR 1.2 browser and flash usage. I have not installed/used adblock.

would adflashblock not stop the flash ads loading anyway and solve this problem? well nol it doesn't solve the problem since i'm already using it, but i was under the impression that was the whole point of it?

check your firmware version (settings > about product)
i'm assuming you're on 205 which doesn't have the update and probably won't get it, since it never seen the last update either!
solution: either flash to the 203 uk firmware or the global edition. or: wait, wait, and wait some more.
i'm on 203 version in uk which was among the first to get pr1.2 so if you're on that you should have had it already.

btw... I'm a bit sad that no one picked up on my 'both of them' comment when referring to the n900 development team.
