In http://theflashblog.com/?p=1641 http://theflashblog.com/?p=1641 the Adobe developers seem to complain about lack of possibility to use hardware acceleration on OSX. Yet as you said, Windows Flash has been fast the whole time. Could someone better versed in plugin development tell us if there is a difference in how the browser plugins are done between OSX and Windows (drawing the video part perhaps?).
Or what else could create the difference as I would think that much of the Flash VM code would be identical between Intel OSX and Windows?
- blasdel 17y agoThe Flash plugin for IE is ActiveX, but all Flash plugins for other platforms use the same Mozilla NPAPI plugin system, whether it's Firefox on Windows, Safari on OS X, or Chrome on Linux. Both Windows Flash plugins have the same good performance: it ain't an API issue.
