b) I did try to nspluginwrapper -i /foo/bar but it returned error, something like invalid plugin type.

"/foo/bar" is just an example. The path of Flash plugins should be "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins". The name of file is libflashplugins.so AFAIR once you have it installed.

c) if you install stock XP, stock Ubuntu and stock Fedora you will notice that XP still loads faster, Ubuntu slower, and Fedora even more slower. Just make yourself a test.

Not anymore in the case of Fedora 7. On my system, a stock Windows XP Professional has a slight advantage to load on login screen and slower on initializing desktop. It is a case of variable mileage depending the system.
