Is it normal for Flash things like Pandora to eat up CPU cycles? My CPU hovers around 30% CPU with Pandora Desktop (the Abode Air version of Pandora). Pandora through the browser isn't as intense, but it's still 20% or so. Kills my battery life!

Is this just Flash sucking?

Unfortunately, yes, it's normal. Annoying as all-get-out.
