If you use Firefox, you can set plugins.click_to_play to true in about:config. Of course it won't help for HTML5 content which starts playing automatically, but it can improve performance with making Flash playable only on demand.

Chrome has click to play plugins as well, it's hugely improved my browsing even on wifi.

For reference in chrome 21 this is under settings->show advanced->privacy->content settings->plug-ins->click to play.

Or just: chrome://chrome/settings/content > Plug-ins > Click to play.
