Are you playing Frontierville or Cityville or somesuch? Zynga games are HUGE resource hogs and if you try to pair them with Pandora or YouTube, things can go down really fast. You can also mitigate a little with an adblocker like adblock plus.

From reports of this that I've been hearing about, Flash 10.2 (which was a recent update) has been particularly bad with Zynga games. You can try changing your display settings in Flash (right click and select settings and then the first tab) but I would just suggest using just one game at a time. Adobe may be releasing a version of Flash that's better soon, so this may clear up if you update Flash, also.
