I realized that quicktime start up is slow compare to windows media in windows xp/vista? Due to this, listening to Yahoo News Video can be slow at time, watching movie clips through Quicktime can be slow too.

Is there anyway to make it faster? I really feel that this is Slowtime and not Quicktime...:Evil:

All of the videos I just checked out on yahoo news are Adobe's flash player, not quicktime files. While flash player is now working in Leopard, Adobe is still working on the version for Leopard.

As to being slow, had no issues with any of the current videos on the site this morning. Every one of them launched the player window and started in 2-3 seconds max on my MBP. I'd say that's not bad for streaming from the web.
