Have you tried using ffmpeg? – nickguletskii May 24 '11 at 18:04

Though not entirely out of place here, your question might be better asked in an iPlayer support forum - bbc.co.uk/dna/mbiplayer/NF8035762 – Wesley Rice May 24 '11 at 18:09

This is because the Flash player that iPlayer uses is not as good running under Linux. I have the same problem and there is no fix until Flash player improves (or your CPU magically gets a lot quicker).
