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 + *.atdmt.* wildcard = less bs

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.

Yup, annoying animation and sound != a pleasant surfing experience
