It does indeed help. I can switch between HD and standard resolution
in youtube vids, I can skip around in the vid, and I don't have to
kill the npviewer.bin process when I navigate from one Flash site to
the next. Oh, and I haven't seen a core from npviewer yet...

I've set the sysctl compat.linux32.maxssiz to 33554432 (32 MB).

It would definitely be helpful to have this in the pkg-message, or at
least documented somewhere (if it's not already -- this is the first
I've heard of it).
