Amongst my friends, the joke is that you need at least two cores, one for listening to music on Pandora and one for other things. On my quad core phenom II (Linux) Pandora uses nearly a whole core. There is nothing within Pandora that justifies such cpu usage. Same goes for video. A youtube video shouldn't be using 25% cpu (one core) on a decent quad core. (Note: windows and other variations have better CPU performance, but in Linux world Flash has never been very decent).
