Apple's New 27-Inch iMacs Experiencing Performance Issues?

surprisingly, youtube CPU usage is LESS then compared to this neosmart thing.wth.
Not really. You have to add the Flash Player plugin and the Safari processor loads for Flash-based YouTube playback, whereas the HTML5 playback Safari load stands alone.
So it's actually 61% processor load for YouTube (Flash) and 26% processor load for YouTube (HTML5).
im talking overall usage.
direct from youtube looks to be like, 80% (out of 200%). with the neo thing its more like 150% or even more.If these flash problems are related to airport networking as has been rumored, then 10.6.2 is supposed to have a fix for airport problems and the new iMacs, which I assume is related to these flash cpu usage problems on the higher end Macs with SL. We should see in a few weeks as it is supposed to be released this month. Interestingly Apple has not officially commented directly on the flash problem and just what is the cause of it under SL.
if its airport related, shouldnt the problem be fixed when using a network cable? has anybody tried this yet?

Have just watched the above video in HD on my Macbook pro 13". It ran smooth with no hiccups at all.
Not sure what the problem is that people are getting but I seem to be ok.

Are you running Leopard or Snow Leopard?

you do realise that the 9400M + SL on your computer supports hardware acceleration?
i dont use real player but i use one of their codecs, RMVB, one of the best codecs out there, i would use it over XviD anyday.
for example a stargate atlantis eps thats normally 350MB (Xvid) is only 220MB in RMVB format, SAME QUALITY or no noticeable difference, i played the eps side by side on the same monitor, i couldn't tell any difference at all.
What I feel more like is that apple severs professional relationships with their proprietary API nonsense ala flash for iphone or google voice, and devs stop caring about their small marketshare...
Seems to be around 50 percent it jumps back and forth. I ran the chess program it handled that and some other programs i turned the airport on also.
So all in all its pretty good!
I have my Imac for 2 days now. I have seriously tested it already, and I have no flash issues what so ever.
I did however have to use "Force Stop" about 10 times already and manually shut down my mac 2 times because it completely blocked.
In the end i'm very happy with my purchase, but i'm still waiting for a decent patch!
