Choppy Flash Games

    I have the arcade installed with over 200+ games. They all work fine, but during play it gets choppy. I'm trying to figure out why its choppy on any game (many games, several different developers). Any ideas to trace this or enhance the performance? This is a personal server with a few domains on the box and not an enormous amount of traffic in general, nor at once. I even reinstalled Flash plug in as well.

    My PC Specs

    Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz
    4GB Memory
    Vista 64Bit Ultimate w/ SP1
    N Wireless Internet (full bars always) / Intel 4965AGN (latest drivers)

    Nvidia 8400M GT 256MB Dedicated / 1GB shared
    1280x800 resolution / 32bit

    Problem has been duplicated with:
    - firefox 2
    - firefox 3 beta 5
    - opera 9
    - IE7 / IE8 beta

    Some games that I experienced this issue with off the bat are:
    - burger restuarant
    - simpsons wrecking ball
    - pinch hitter
    - skee ball
    - cheese hunt

    I went to the flash folder settings and changed cache to "unlimited", while it showed only 2kb use during gameplay. Problem persists.

    I think Flash is a memory killer. I've seen this behaviour on several systems, no matter if Windows or Linux...
