Youtube (Flash Player 10) shooting CPU High
I observed that in my both laptop CPU shoots up nearly 100% whenever i run any application that requires Flash player. I am running the latest Flash Player. I believe it is a well known issue frying computers and Adobe is not responding at all. I tried to find solution everywhere, even tried older version but it is not helping a lot. I have tried various browsers too, the finally culprit to pin down is flash player only. You may want to check your computer and post here.
Check your CPU usage when browser has google.com open and then check your CPU while your running this video in HQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SFMaqkiJxI
Laptop. Centrino 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM
Browser: Chrome
Google page: 0-2% CPU
Youtube link: 60-68 % CPU
Laptop AMD athalon(m) 2400+, 512MB (Minimal XP installation only for browsing)
Browser: chrome
Google Page: 4-6%
Youtube link: 94-100%
PLEASE POST YOUR CPU USAGELast edited by ks_tiwari; Sep 26th, 2009 at 11:00 PM.

Your CPU usage is high because the CPUs you're using are slow. Flash requires a lot of CPU power, especially if you turn on HQ or HD.

Don't worry. Give it another half year or so. GPU accelerated flash is coming. HD Flash is esp taxing.

My Centrino laptop is able to play High Def on VLC player without a hitch. I agree AMD laptop is old but shooting 100% is unusually high. Somewhere i read that even in quad core, flash player 10 saturated two of his core... Please check your system and let me know !

try a different browser.. chrome doesn't work properly on my PC (E8400@4GHz) or my Notebook (T400) for Target's Flash based ads... It runs perfectly fine in Firefox and IE8.

IE8 is so far the best with flash based video while FF and chrome's are using high cpu.

The youtube link you posted isn't even video. It was just a series of HQ stills.
I was able to play it perfectly in HQ even with an Atom processor. Usually, with true HD youtube, it's usually unplayable on that.
My CPU was running at around 60%. Running Firefox.
I looked at your benched numbers and they looked normal to me...until I tried out your link. The atom is way slower than both your PC's and I'm posting better numbers.Last edited by gambit_360; Sep 27th, 2009 at 03:16 PM.

If you play same url in VLC player, it uses much lower cpu but video is little soft.

To put it bluntly, flash sucks. It is a god awful CPU intensive POS, coded by monkeys. Full Screen HD Bluray takes less of a hit on my CPU than HD flash. Even regualr Flash will makes CPUs spin out of low power mode.
