Why Flash 10 Sucks on LiEnucks (Full Explanation): http://bit.ly/136Kib

Quote: “Flash is widely reviled by Linux users, who almost universally disdain its proprietary licensing model, lousy performance, excessive resource consumption, poor platform integration, and abysmal lack of stability. Flash is listed by Mozilla’s crash reporting system as the number one cause of Firefox crashes on Linux. On Ubuntu’s brainstorm web site—where Ubuntu users suggest ways that the Linux distribution can be improved—over a thousand users have voted for items that highlight the need to fix Flash’s dysfunctional behavior and frequent crashes.”

Tested on my old laptop, which has the following specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.40 GHz
3 GB of RAM

Operating systems tested:

Linux Mint 10 “Julia” – 64 bit
Windows 7 Home Premium – 64 bit

Flash 10 video tested:
“Desktop Linux Sucks, And What We Can Do About It”

Results:

Linux CPU Usage: 40%
Windows 7 CPU usage: 8%
= Windows 7 is 400% (5x = 5 times) faster than Linux.

Conclusion: Windows 7 by far the better operating system to view Flash 10 video, especially if you have an old CPU/processor.
