I searched the forums for anything relating to my problem, and nothing came up, so here goes.

Since updating to 10.6.8 i noticed when watching videos from YouTube or Lynda.com, my MBP fan staring revving up. And the temperatures start to increase dramatically.

Before the Upgrade to 10.6.8 i could watch videos and my fans would stay below 3000rpm and the temps barely rose.

I'm running Firefox 5 with the latest flash (10.3.181.34). I also upgraded my ram from 4 to 8 gigs but i don't see how this would affect flash performance.

I took a screenshot of Activity Monitor while watching Lynda.com videos and the CPU usage is through the roof.
