Comment #66 on issue 5083 by windinyews: High browser process CPU usage from Flash on Vista http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5083
Well, nice information, nman985. I don't have an idea what happened to generate the double post last time - possibly a browser restart with the edited comment still present. I like your idea of these fellows getting their heads together. It's what Lockheed, Boeing, etc. did back in the days when Lockheed Electras were falling out of the sky. After 18 months, they discovered that the combination of very stiff, strong high aspect wings, and extremely 'comfortable' soft engine mounts to remove turbine vibration let a corkscrew oscillation set up with the engines, and excite a resonance in the wing, with the immediate consequence that the wing tore off -- at 400 mph. Something of that ilk is happening here, and it is affecting many people very badly in the world. I saw it the same on two completely different laptops, one brand new, with immense immediate problems always on Chrome, and none ever on Firefox of any vintage. Hence my conclusions, which may after all just be a particular circumstance. I read through that thread you posted. It seems inconclusive, but.... I think the worst of all in this is Google (and apparently Mozdev very similarly) marking complaints as 'Won't fix'. That is just plain insulting, and especially when it is done with no explanation whatever. I did find some of the same issue with latest Safari on latest Vista, hence my suspicion that the problem lies in the bowels of Webkit. Whatever it is, as you proved with your instrumentation, it is findable. It just takes a little courage, equipment, and source code. I hope we can see some of that courage exercised, and soon. It would be a 'do no evil' exercise for sure, and restore a lot of the confidence I have been losing through various carelessness of our large technical store these days.
