No, I don't believe I will. I'd rather my users know the button is a button, and will behave like they expect, all without taking up 50% of my CPU...

(Aside: I went back to the page to double-check CPU usage, and the button wasn't working this time. Yup, behold the awesome power of flash!)

Moving over this button resulted in no perceptible CPU impact on my machine (crazy fool).

I have seen many HTML5 demos that have taken up 50% or more of my CPU. So, what's the difference?

I think psadauskas' point was that a shiny button isn't a good benchmark for a flash vs. html5 comparison. Or at least that they don't think that shiny buttons make a lot of sense.
