Here is a fix that could have been done long ago to reduce CPU usage http://www.kaourantin.net/2010/03/timing-it-right.html http://www.kaourantin.net/2010/03/timing-it-right.html It took a lot of whining for them to get started on it, but there was and is plenty of room for improvement. The argument about heavy media using a lot of CPU in HTML5 and bad developers who don't care about users only goes so far. Ultimately, Flash is what's being used for CPU hogging sites, Flash developers are the ones pushing the boundaries on a large part of the web, and the makers of Flash need to keep up with their developers. When Canvas or JS becomes annoying it will be up to browsers to fix it, include click to Canvas, do whatever it takes so users keep using the web. If they fail at this, they'll have a hatefest coming their way.
