That noticeably hits my cpu. I monitor CPU use in the task bar out the corner of my eye, and that was the very reason I abandoned Flash. Flash ads used to lock up my old G4 frequently.

It's hardly energy efficient - if I was to leave my computer for 20 minutes it would just keep consuming, whereas you'd hope it would throttle power use.
