Yeah, I've been using this for a few months now, since it is the first version of Flash that can play Hulu in 1080p connected to an HDTV without dropping half the frames. Now, it only drops one frame every few seconds, and crashes about every hour or two.
This is with a 1GB Nvidia 9800GT graphics card - Flash plugin 10.1 is now accelerating video playback using the ATI and Nvidia chips that support this. However, they're doing a terrible job of it. Granted, this is a beta plugin, but it still uses close to 100% of the CPU on a dual core machine (2.53 ghz Core2, 4GB RAM, Win 7 64-bit) to playback 1080p video.
In XBMC on the same machine I can play back 1080p BluRay rips with 5.1 Dolby Digital without dropping a single frame.
Adobe has a lot of catching up to do. This situation reminds me of Internet Explorer 6 before Firefox started gaining market share.
