I just tried flashblock. I can't be happier :). I used to see heavy CPU usage  when using
flash, now its pretty much gone. I don't need multi core anymore :). Thanks for the tip.

I can't imagine trying to use flash-based things without flashblock. There are far too many
flash things that start immediately. So I'd click a link, switch tabs, read some email, write
a bit of code, work on a puzzle a little, and come back to the first tab to find that I've
missed the whole thing, whatever it was.
