Hi Ryan,
So far, gnash-plugin spawns 3 instances of gtk-gnash.
Two of the instances consume about 2.0 to 2.3% oc cpu.
The third instance consumes about 30% while the video is STOPPED,
and it consumes between 80 and 98% of cpu when video is
running. And because it consumes so much cpu, the audio
gets interrupted quiet often.
So you see, that it is quiet a hog!
Next, I will try swfdec swfdec-gtk swfdec-mozilla gstreamer-ffmpegas you had
suggested.
Cheers,
MK
