It's really time developers added Adobe to their "friends" list, imo.
I'm not a developer. As a user, I'll add Adobe to my "friends" list as soon as they have a decent implementation of Flash for OS X that doesn't take tons of memory and CPU cycles.
Flash is the only thing that can make me restart Chrome because it becomes a resource hog...
Adobe already has the technology to improve performance under their noses, but I don't know what is taking them so long. But I can tell you this: once they implement the already published fixes, you can expect at least 60% performance improvement in Flash player, by my calculations ..
-- edit, removed irrelevant facts.
Maybe after they fire some of their bloggers for continually stirring up the pot and stop adding to PDF in a that puts everyone else at a disadvantage. Open standards kinda need to be open in the changing.
