What are you doing on the device? Third-party apps? Apps running in the background? Normal web surfing?

Did you miss the large, non-virtual keyboard present on the device? :P

Is there some splash screen that comes up while the app is loading? Can you provide a video of the stutter?

That's disappointing

So recode those videos using an h.264 encoder. I think it's pretty well established that Android supports the h.264 standard. I'm reasonably certain that, on OSX at least, iSquint (free)-encoded videos will work under Android when encoded using the 'iPhone' setting.
