Comment Flash a total CPU hog? (Score 2) 507
Nothing does a better job making my Athlon64 3000+ obsolete than by switching everything to HTML5.
Watching a video on Youtube in HTML5 shoots my CPU up to 80% while watching it through regular Flash only uses 55%.
Angry Birds in HTML5 is jerky (not to mention the crappy aliasing) and it'll work a lot better if implemented in Flash.
So surely I'm missing something when people keeps complaining Flash is a resource hog.
I hope it's not another hipster programmer fad like the functional language for everything trend a couple of years ago.
