Happens to me all of time.  I thought it was just a bad flash plugin, or that
my system is not the fastest thing in the world (1.2GHz Celeron).  I have the
same problem on a slightly faster box, but with a different distro. of Linux.
So no, I believe it is pervasive.

Any Apple or Sun users out there with the same problem?
