I did install the non-free extras in MX-15 as part of my installation, so I think they were in there. The MX-15 Firefox had two Flash plugins installed (19.0 r0 and 11.2 r202) and the older of the two was identical to that in LL. Previously I deactivated the newer one so it would be a "fair" comparison.
Just before writing this I went to MX-15 Firefox and disabled the older and activated the newer version of Flash. The videos through FIrefox/Youtube did play better and CPU usage was down to less than 100%, but there was some stuttering at the beginning. Interestingly though, after deactivating one of the two Flash plugins and then leaving that page, after a return they would both be activated again. So I don't know if my deactivation efforts worked or not. (My Firefox installations are all synced, so maybe that had something to do with the automatic reactivation.)
Unfortunately, the SMTube/VLC combination in MX-15 still did not work well, with audio playing but with a frozen image and 100% CPU usage compared to about 90% in LL (which ran fine).
Again, this was all done on a little Atom N2600 processor notebook with 2 gigs of ram. Not exactly a powerhouse, but very convenient to carry around; and Linux Lite delivers everything I want on it.
