My system isn't shader capable and still playing HTML5 video tag consumes only ~30% of CPU while playing flash ~90%.

There is no excuse for that - I could understand higher CPU usage, but not by factor of 3.

Are you on Linux ? That is the only plat that I see taking higher cpu usage while playing viedo in flash. Both windows and osx now play flash with little cpu usage.

Yes, I'm on Linux - but it still doesn't explain why flash is consuming so much CPU (I'm using VESA drivers for graphics)
