Websites with flash content are causing tremendous CPU usage!!

Greetings!

I finally installed the long-awaited version 4 of firefox, and I am really disappointed. In addition to slight sluggishness now and again, it turns out that websites with Flash content (even those sites with a little flash advertising banner) are causing my CPU usage to really go up.

It's slowing down my machine, making my CPU fans spin loudly, and making for a disappointing web browsing experience.

I have disabled all add-ons, and done the usual. Even tried installing Chrome for the first time ever!

The problem is definitely Flash + Firefox 4.

I have created a brand new profile, but no dice. Wondering if anyone else experiences a high CPU load on pages with flash...
