Hi.

Community running Kubuntu (I suppose LINUX in general) I suppose know that there is problems with adobe flash player. Player eats a lot of RAM and there is almost impossible to browse sites which contains flash elements. Max 2 or 3 tabs opened, or even one page with flash and cpu load is up to 70-100%. What is going on?? Some continuous bugs in flash code which adobe can`t RESOLVE ? Maybe some configuration may help ...!!!
I`ve never seen this kind of problem in windows. But in Linux world it seems already the standart through versions (for example in Kubuntu) and flash problem STAYS uncovered.
So what is going on? Maybe someone has get out of this riddle and solved this or knows where the problem is?
I`m running Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 3.5.9). Same problems was on previous versions of Kubuntu, also I`ve tried some few other versions of "flashplugin-nonfree" - some older, 9.0.124 - problem the same. Today I`ve installed newest 10.0.1.218 - all the same.
In fact I can say that on Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM cpu load is very small and all seems ok with flash.
But on Celeron 2.8 GHz, Pentium 4 3.00 GHz with 2GB RAM browsing is simply nightmare - cpu load is as I mentioned above (80-100%) and computer runs slow. So some CPU instructions in older CPU`s that can`t process flash player??? I don`t believe

Best Regards.

Im also running UBUNTU 8.04 studio with kde DESKTOP but it seems fine with me..I had flash player installed and although kinda slow cause its just a PIII 550Mhz, 3x128Mb of RAM PC.

As you can see by the date of this topic, we don't have many people familiar with Linux...
