Flash player eats a lot of CPU

[SoulEdge]

Hi all,
I've installed kubuntu 11.04 with Google Chrome like browser, but this last doesn't work with flash (i read in the web that the version 11 can). Anyway, I downloaded libflashplayer.so 64bit (for kubuntu 64bit version) version from Adobe site and I installed it in the "plugins" directory of Chome root. Now, I can see example a youtube video, but...the CPU just watching a video arrives up to 60%!
If I'm with the laptop battery viewing a video on youtube eats all the battery

There is something to do?

PS: I've already installed kubuntu-extras but flash didn't work, so i downloaded original flash player from adobe site.

Re: Flash player eats a lot of CPU

If Flash doesn't work on Google Chrome then isn't that a Google Chrome problem?


I don't think installing other Flash plugins will have any effect on the Google Chrome problem.


Does anyone have a better understanding of how this works in Kubuntu?

I have flash in chromium-browser on Kubuntu 11.04, 32-bit. Works flawlessly.

Re: Flash player eats a lot of CPU

Yes but I'm using kubuntu 64bit so I've to install flash 64 bit
I have tried both Firefox and Chrome:
Firefox watching a video on youtube is about 40% of CPU;
Chrome instead is about 50/60%.

Where is the problem? I tried then 32bit version whit nspluginwrapper:
Chrome is ever about 50/60%;
Firefox is abount 30%...
