Since recently installing Flash Player 10 I've noticed that any flash website that does the slightest complicated thing causes my mac to overheat and the Fan to come on.
It's a 2Ghz intel MacBook with 1gb ram.
Just how cpu intensive is Flash player 10?

stop with the interactive flash-porn sites for a week or so til they send through an update.

Calm down, shut off the pr0n, get your cock outta the air vent and let your Mac breathe already.

why is everyone acting as if it never happened to them? it happens to me with every computer, mac or pc, some flash sites simply overheat the processor. not all but many.

Flash is just shit full stop, should only be used as a glorified movie player these days

I have only experienced that on some sites - but not all . http://www.waterstones.com/ for example will chocke the shit out of my MPB (2.4 GHz/4 gig ram) in about 2 minutes... I assume that it has an unclised loop or they are adding movieclips without removing "used" ones.

I've found it causes a lot of crashes if you leave the page before something loads. If you don't bother to write listeners to catch errors it will happen more as when you cancel the request it seems to interpret that as an error and gets stuck.

you think it's bad on an intel box, try flash 10 on a PPC G5, shit can't even play a low-res youtube video. adobe engineers, hang your heads in shame.

Flash has always chokes Macs, because it's utter shit on the Mac full stop. Next

depends on what you're viewing you dopes... and if you're still on a G5... get your poor ass on a savings plan and upgrade yourselves... :)

I think flash 10 is optimized for well written AS3 code, also I found one test app I wrote was much faster when I coded for Sprites rather then MovieClips on my mac, I agree Windows flash player seems faster...
My guess is that timeline stuff may be part of the issue....

the fact that my shitty $300 celeron with 256 megs of ram can trounce a dual 2.3ghz ppc with 16gb of ram is just not right no matter how you look at it.

your "$300 celeron with 256 megs of ram" won't do shit to a dual 2.3ghz anything and you know it

no, actually, i know this for a fact, as i have both machines here right now sitting side by side. a low-res youtube video can't even play smoothly on the mac, plays perfectly on the pc.
- well, I have a MacBook Pro in front of me as well as a Dell Latitude laptop and they both play them perfectlymonospaced

something's wrong with your Mac if it won't play smoothly
- anyways, you don't have a Dual 2.3ghz PPC with 16GB of RAM because it doesn't existmonospaced
- try flash 10 on ppc, it's broken! i rolled it back to 9, which works fine.acescence
