I haven't built and installed the Ambulant player yet. But I have an 
interesting news.

I've tested the plugin on a laptop which has better hardware than the 
  PC I used in my first try. (a better processor and 2GB of RAM 
instead of 512MB)

Now I can see all the demos without any problem: non slowness, no delay,..

So I think it's likely to be an hardware issue.. I mean, I have Ubuntu 
Jaunty on both computers, I use the same version of Firefox,...
Unfortunately, I can't provide more information as this PC is far away 
from me at the moment (it's at my parents' home, and I live abroad).

Anyway, I hope this information can help you to understand the issue...

Are you going to upload this version of the plugin on Sourceforge?
I ask this because I'd be glad to provide a link to a working version 
of the plugin for Linux to friends and forums that may be interested.

I think it's quite stable. I had a couple of crashes of Firefox, but 
just after viewing several SMIL demos. Also, the crashes happen not 
while the smil is playing, but when I go back to the previous page or 
I change page.

Best regards,
Federico
