You might try starting up Fluxbox (or other minimalist WM) instead of KDE and see if it runs any smoother. The Linux version of Flash is pretty abysmal, but the low bitrate streams should play smoothly. But I've never been able to play HD Flash videos.
Fluxbox + latestest flashplayer prerelease 10.1 cleaned up flash video issues quite a bit for me on an older machine, as well as solved a few issues with HD video on a newer machine. To test if it's your internet connection try pausing the video for a bit when it starts to play to allow the buffer to grow.
