    do you find intel hd graphics performance for non intensive tasks sluggish like scrolling on certain sites and maximizing a youtube video, i see a white screen for two seconds before the full screen renders. not like this when i disable automatic graphics switching...

    i also used migration assistant to get my data back from my 2009 c2d i sold.

    help?

    edit: happens with firefox not chrome or safari...

    Flash in general does not work well in OSX thus causing high cpu usage. The shuttering issue is probably due to your computer being too slow and running flash content on OSX.

    An alternative is to just html5 version of youtube and your browsing experience on youtube will be better.

    That's it? Mine does that too, It's just loading, Try it again after you do it the first times, it will come up faster.
