This are just my observations and experiences with
Flash-player and Linux of late.
I use my browsers to view a lot of Flash vids, and
the
fact that many websites are using (over-using?)
Flash
animations, etc. makes it quite important, at
least to
me, that my browser be Flash-friendly.
Adobe, in their wisdom, decided to only support
gtk
browsers in their latest release, so that has left
Opera (my browser of choice), pretty much out in
the
cold, at least for Opera 9.2x versions and
earlier.
Opera is trying to work around this in their
9.50Beta,
soon to be released.
However, I have noted, the latest version of
Flash-player does not seem to be playing well with
Iceweasel either.
It consistently causes Iceweasel to consume 80%+
cpu
cycles when viewing Flash vids...sometimes upwards
of
100%!
To me this is unacceptable. I have downgraded to
an
earlier version of the plugin (9.0 r48), and
things
are a bit better in terms of cpu usage and
view-ability of videos.
Anyone else noting this may want to consider
downgrading Flash-player as well.
I have tried various installations of the plugin
using
Adobe's tar.gz, and binary .deb installs, without
any
improvement.
Best regards.
You might have seen my memo with subject "Flash
Player 9 (9,0,115,0)
with Iceweasel or Firefox (& even konqueror)" a bit
above and also I
noticed the same type of CPU usage....

Yes Jean, we seem to be experiencing similar problems
with Flash Player 9,0,115,0.
I too have had lock-ups where killing Opera or
Iceweasel has been the only option. I am using
Dreamlinux, a Debian Etch based distro with xfce4
desktop.
As far as I'm concerned, on my system, Flash Player 9
in its latest version, is unusable.
I thought I would give Opera 9.50 Beta a go, and check
the performance of the latest Flash Player. Opera is
working to try to get around the "gtk browsers only
support" in there latest version. Well, it was not any
better...high cpu consumption and occasional browser
lockup.
This is disappointing. Disabling Flash would really
put a damper on my internet experience. :(
Using the older FP 9.0 r48 is getting me by, for the
time being at least.
Best regards.

Hi, i had this problem too. CPU usage 40-80%. But since i changed flash to
version 9.0 r48, CPU usage is in normal, about 2-3% and when youtube is
loaded and video is playing then 20-30%, and browser seems to be fast and
usable.
Thanks for hint :-)
Martin
To all,
thanks for the advise I'm going to downgrade ASAP Have a nice weekend
Regards,
JL
