Recently, with Firefox 2.0.0.11 and Adobe Flash 9.0.115.0, I've noticed a dramatic increase in CPU usage on websites that use the flash plugin.
Playing one video on youtube results in 50-60% CPU usage on a 2Ghz machine, spiking all over the place. Playing two videos results in performance loss!
Something's not right. Loads of people are running into this issue and I hope it's fixed soon. I have a laptop that I gave to my parents that's cooking everytime they go to youtube and it's starting to piss me off!
The same video downloaded and played in VideoLAN uses 0-1% CPU. Very annoying!!! Any of you guys noticed the hit?
This issue is helping to speed up global warming - someone should be sued!!!
