I have had high CPU usage with Flash 10 since I switched to Jaunty (was 
running Flash 9 before.)  But I've also had high CPU usage with KDE4 apps, 
so I suspect my Intel video drivers (or the version of Xorg in Jaunty) may 
be to blame.  There are bugs filed for both possibilities.  This would mean 
Flash 10 under Wine won't help, so I guess I need to try it and report 
back.

Playing a standard, low-res Youtube video pegs my CPU nowadays, so I can 
understand why Ken might be frustrated enough to resort to drastic 
measures.
