Flash is done. Even Google, who used to crow about how it supported Flash on Android has dropped it from their release of Chrome for Andriod. http://parislemon.com/post/17215781807/chrome-for-android-the-browser-for-the-1 BTW, the "better OS" is cheap and patently false flame bait that weekends your otherwise well reasoned response.

Like almost every problem like this it's because of Apple and there closed system. They do not allow Adobe access to code/API's in order for Adobe to get Flash performance up. Microsoft and Google (with Android) both actively work with Adobe to ensure Flash works well on there OS's. Apple do not do this and often do the complete opposite (not allowing it on the OS at all). Theres a simple solution though... use a better OS. I know this is old now… but i just wanted to say this problem was nothing to do with Adobe.

If you use Activity Monitory where is your CPU at? I also find (using iStatsMenu) that the disk is constantly getting hammered while watching video. I don't think it's swapping but perhaps buffering to disk? Steve, it always seems to be “just about ok” no matter what version and what Mac it’s on. If you use Activity Monitory where is your CPU at?
