Using my other half's MacBook (2010) to play some 4oD at the moment, and it keeps stuttering. That is, the video will play for like 20secs - 2 minutes and then stop, think about it, and then start again. It's really irritating. I have closed down DropBox which was busy syncing things, closed down all apps with only Chrome open playing 4oD (with AdBlocker enabled).

I would usually put this down to stress on the network, but I'm only running Eclipse on my MBP and not downloading anything. Quickly checked how things stream on my laptop and it's fine.

Can anyone suggest some ways to quickly diagnose what the heck is happening without being invasive? The other half gets really riled up when I tinker with her tech ;)
