&quot;When we shipped the HTML5 player, we noticed that on average it took slightly longer for Facebook to load. By fixing several small performance regressions and making multiple micro-optimizations, we finally reached a level we felt happy with shipping.&quot;<p>The way that&#x27;s worded, it sounds like Facebook with HTML5  video is still slower to load than it was with Flash. This is really surprising... Would love to read details on that. Do they mean loading a link to a video, or to the general News Feed?
