It happens in other browsers such as Epiphany as well in Gnome Shell with the Adobe Flash Plugin. But also in firefox with moonlight 4 or gnash for example. While in Minitube for example cpu usage remains quite a bit lower.
So, based on some info found, there might possible be a different problem going on additionally, namely on (some system setups) some kind of extensive CPU use when viewing any kind of video in a web browser. What could be the cause of this? A (short term) solution, might be to use something like cpu-limited and a cache to limit cpu usage and write ahead the video in the cache. Although even better would be to find out the cause of the problem. From what I found this may possibly be somewhat related to what kind of processor and/ or graphics card is used. If this a wider problem than say Ubuntu, Linux kernel problem, Firefox, or Flash, I second getting in touch with each other to work on this.
