The cycles part is actually non-negligible. Those things are usually so horribly written that they'll eat up processing time in big chunks. But that's not a Flash-only problem. I've seen JS-things on webpages actually spinning up my laptops fans even though there was really nothing much on the screen, and it's not like I've got a bad laptop either. It's not high-end but an i7 with 8gb of RAM shouldn't notice the load of a pretty average webpage.
But that's just my 2 cents.
- ZoFreX 14y agoMy dad didn't understand why his (admittedly quite old) laptop really struggles on some websites. For most of his usage - buying tickets, checking emails - it suffices just fine, but a badly coded flash advert can bring the entire machine to a crawl. It was very difficult to convince him that yes, it was actually the crappy slideshow advert on one tab that was making his entire computer unusable.
