That Flash only made CPU usage jump from ~3% to ~75% on an Athlon 2500+ @ 2400MHz, nothing TOO over the top.
No wonder they used an IGN Flash page in the benchmarks on Anandtech.

adblock doesnt block the flash adds that arnt imbeded in the page

It doesn't block useful flash like buttons either.
I tried some flash blocking plugins, but sometimes they just because annoying, like when a website used 10 flash buttons as its menu options and they all had to be enabled.
