Reduce battery usage by controlling Flash in Safari
Duane, I have seen FT.Com, a Financial Times website, eat up ALL of my available CPU. Not having the tools mentioned, I can't say that it was the hyperactive Flash ads, but with my limited ability to read source, I couldn't see anything else likely. Closing the page put CPU level at near-zero; re-opening it or another FT.Com article and we're off to the races.

Agree. Like any technology, it can be used for good or evil, written elegantly and efficiently or produced in steaming piles of butt-ugly code. I have seen some really bad flash coding but this is not unique to flash. One can also create abusive HTML, AJAX or even graphics. One guy once made a JPG by creating an HTML table that loaded individual pixels of different colors. <belch>!!

On FT.com, it's Apple's lousy Javascript engine that sucks. All your available CPU power. Same happens when you open "Dash"board.

Somebody should make a code optimizer reporter for all web technologies. The problem is just going to get worse with JavaFX, Silverlightm, Curl and others. Imagine some dumbass using all of these plus flash and remote objects on one page? |
