I disabled Flash when I discovered that if a Web page has multiple Flash objects, then each one gets its own thread. Where one Flash object consumes 20% of an average CPU, 20 of them can render a computer unresponsive.

I also noticed that even if you disable a Flash object with Adblock, it continues to consume CPU cycles.

Flash is Trash.
