The "htop" commands reports seperate pids (threads?) for
libflashplayer.so, so it may be possible to throttle each thread
individually. We could at least throttle flash if no flash is visible.
The script I personally use does something even simpler. It throttles
chrome if chrome is minimized.

The script has a number of limitations... it'll only run on Linux for
starters. However I have attached it in case anyone wants to take a
look or use it.
