[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1020569"] There is ONE thing that could be making a significant difference. Flash. Adobe has never brought Flash for the Mac up to the standards of Flash for the PC, for reasons that are very unclear. Indeed, its said that the Mac version of Flash is actually running a mini-PC emulator within the package, which would explain why Flash on the Mac needs extra resources. Considering that is it the Mac customers who made Adobe into the company it is today, this seem bass-ackwards to us. :) Hopefully the increasing pressure from Apple and others moving to HTML5 for certain kinds of delivery will force Adobe to get off their duff and do the right thing (or be replaced with something not requiring a proprietary plugin).
