Flash can have it's place in the fiery depths of hell. It's just so poorly coded and such a resource hog that it shouldn't be used anywhere, ever, until Adobe gets its head out of its ass and fixes the damn code.
I'm always wary of making assertions like this since I didn't write Flash myself, but I more or less agree.
There is no reason a 6 month old MacBook Pro with a C2D @2.8GHz and 4GB of RAM should exhibit slowdown on any website. (And yes, I know I'm walking right into remarks about "well, that just because it's a POS Mac")
Nah, it's all the same hardware these days anyway. Arguments about Mac vs PC performance-wise have been dead (to me at least) ever since. Or maybe it's just that I grew past the benchmarking/obsessing over 2% difference in performance days of my youth
