Comment #59 on issue 5083 by windinyews: High browser process CPU usage from Flash on Vista http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5083
nman985, that's very eloquent. The only problem is that what you are saying is provably not true. I have loaded big sets of flash-bearing tabs from nytimes.com newspaper pages on Firefox 3.5, and my cpu usage remains at 6% average. If I load just a few of the same Flash-bearing NYTimes pages on the very latest Google Chrome, my cpu usage is at or above 80%. This is a huge difference. I believe it is due to a misconception or mismanagement that Chrome's software does, because it is intent to use multiple processes for the safety sandboxes. This may or may not be due to issues in the Webkit framework, but either way, it is a problem that we have known how to manage for decades, through use of inter-process communication to assure only visible windows actually process active view-changing -- i.e. the gazoomy eye-noise like the Times favors in its Flash ads. I would think Google with all their reputation could find one or two persons on staff who can understand and write software at depth, which is what it takes to actually manage what an event-window framework is doing. I believe it is just a matter of taking the professional pride, and the trouble. Yes, there are other things Google needs to do with Chrome. But those won't be important if we decide not to use it because of this very serious and constant, daily performance headache. It makes the difference between 2 and 4 hour battery life on a new laptop with excellent power management. You do the math as far as how important that is.
