Hello all.
I'm new to the forums and relatively new to mac so please excuse any blinding ignorance.
I am having problems with Flash playback eating up loads of processor power and as a result am getting jumpy Flash playback on several sites. Some are worse than others but Lovefilm, for example, is practically unwatchable.
When I stream videos via the internet (all browsers are equally as bad, but I predominantly use Chrome) and check the activity monitor, I find that Flash is using up most of the available CPU resource. I am on:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Hard Drive: 250 GB
OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4
I have done some research and found that this seems to be a common problem, but have not been able to find a resolution. I have checked on the adobe site and it says that I am running the latest version of Flash.
Does anybody have any ideas what I could try?
Thanks.
