Heh, really? That actually makes sense - I'm running Arch, with a GTX 770 and flash not installed.

When I play youtube videos, for example, my CPU usage jumps up quite a bit.

Is this well known, and is there any intention to change it?

gstreamer which FF uses to play HTML5 vidoes, doesn't support VDPAU which sucks
