Macbook Pro + OSX Lion + Flash = Toasty

[thebeautyisfake]

Ever since upgrading to Lion my computer has been heating up a storm during youtube videos. Previously I never had this issue, and rightfully so.

Fans kicked in watching a 2 minute 360p video. Checked activity monitor for the entire thing (flash process) and, well, take a look at the attachment. Is anybody else getting similar problems?

That also happens to me.

Flash + anything = toasty, the damn thing is a disease.

I tend to use Firefox and Chrome instead of Safari, and disable Flash - it can still me used if necessary.

Chrome includes its very own Flash plug-in, so it can continue displaying Flash even if you completely uninstall the system-wide Flash Player.

this, just because you can't feel all the heat through your phone/PCs plastic case doesn't mean it's not there!!

I don't notice a difference between Clean Install and Upgrade when it comes to the Performance of Flash, cuz Flash is trash on Macs
