I've raised a number of video bugs, but after some advice on this one....
When playing flash videos on a Thinkpad T60p core duo @ 2.16 Ghz, ATI V5200 (R500 series), compiz enabled I'm seeing v. high CPU consumption from: firefox:~65% Xorg: ~25%
This is with BBC iplayer (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer -- UK only) running 1/4 screen (full is 1600x1200).
This is stuttery, but trying to play full screen just results in a performance disaster.
this is with CPU power mode at "performance" - so full 2.16Ghz
Levels are:
flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-1.i386 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.0-2.fc11.i586 mesa-libGL-7.5-0.5.fc11.i586 kernel-PAE-2.6.29-16.fc11.i686
As a comparison, a 720x480 wmv 24bpp 254 kbps played with mplayer, "xv" consumes ~15%/10% (2nd figure is mplayer itself) cpu. With "x11" mode it was ~25%/12%
Known issue? Should I raise a new bugzilla? Or is it more likely an adobe implementation issue?
Note that for those in the UK "BBC iPlayer" really is a killer app. It's on WII, mobile, web and allows catchup of most of BBC's output for ~1 month PVR style either via streaming or download.

Try:
mkdir -p /etc/adobe/ echo "OverrideGPUValidation=1" > /etc/adobe/mms.cfg

Thanks -- unfortunately didn't help. Still seeing that high CPU Out of interest a downloaded file in iplayer (I think this is ~800 kbps) is taking @65% in app ~30% in Xorg.
Hi,

Yes, its quite the same for me, however I have a intel gpu.
Well, 30% for Xorg is a lot, but still its flash consuming the remaining 65% which is way too high. When using mplayer to play downloaded flash videos, it stays between the 10-20% mark. So adobe's flash plugin simply looks like not tuned a lot.
