  ernexbcn..the problem is that Flash player doesn't only play video, it does a ton of other things..it's a full blown platform.. it does a ton of other things that need access directly to hardware they just couldn't get from Apple. Apple always created APIs for developers to use but in some cases (such as Core Animation) they are just not fast enough for Flash.. GPU is just the most recent thing that was sucking the most CPU cycles that was recently solved when Apple opened up hardware to Adobe and a few months later Adobe showcases new beta version of player "Gala" with h.264 hardware acceleration.
