Do these systems have NVIDIA graphics using the NVIDIA proprietary 
drivers?  A couple of users on the -users list had a problem with 
sluggishness/X maxing out the CPU (and seeming to "store up" remote 
button presses) and it was due to not having "UseEvents" enabled.

I haven't watched the YouTube video (don't have Flash installed), so I 
don't know that the symptoms match, but regardless, if using NVIDIA 
drivers, you should have UseEvents enabled, so it may be worth checking.  :)
