Whenever I watch any videos using flash in a browser, my macbook fans ramp up. Anyone else experiencing the same problems?

Yeah, what's really weird to me is that the Flash plug on Linux is much faster... It seems like Adobe barely puts effort into this plug, it always lags behind in releases, for a while it didn't run on 64 bit machines, etc... Yet, it doesn't yak and bring the system to its knees like the Mac plug does.
I wonder if this might have anything to do with OS X related issues, as opposed to purely Flash plug issues.

Maybe I should have posted in the OSX forum, but my imac doesn't act like this. Thought that maybe it was related to the integrated graphics card...

integrated graphics cards are generally lesser performing than standalone cards, larrinski, because resources have to be shared.
However, I'm not even sure whether or not any Flash animations are GPU accelerated on any platform, particularly digital video such as YouTube clips.
Just thinking outloud here...

Video card should make no difference... most flash video is codecs like Sorensen Squeeze (although h.264 recently became an option for flash video) which nobody bothers accelerating with the GPU because it just doesn't need it.
I don't think OS X even supports accelerating video decoding (h.264, VC-1, or even MPEG2) with the GPU anyway.
