Well, I use FF on Linux and WXP, with Adobe Flash on both, and wouldn't
describe them on either platform as "cpu-hogs". For me, the Linux
versions of both run quite smoothly.
I can't say anything about performance. My personal laptop (with Linux)
has a 1.5GHz Celeron M processor with 768MB of memory and the awful
Intel video chipset that uses system memory for the video. My work
laptop (with WXP) has a 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of memory and a nice,
snappy non-Intel chipset that doesn't use system memory.

The reason I would be tempted to do this, is because the linux
versions of flash and firefox are huge cumbersome cpu-hogs, and I hear
the windows versions of both programs, running under wine, run much
more smoothly. I've successfully gotten Firefox to run on
Wine with Adobe Flash (presumably so that I can actually see people's websites, and
listen to their music. Sheesh.). This is on a 32-bit system.
Have I missed
something here? I have no problem using Adobe's Flash for
Linux on my systems.
