I had noticed Flash causes the vast majority of app instability on my Mac, and that Flash's standard mode of failure is to send CPU usage to 100%. But I had not considered how that would impact battery life. This rings true. Good observation.

Flash is generally well-behaved but IMHO it had some multi-tasking issues resulting in the behavior you've observed. A flash player update will fix those issues. As for Apple to take out Flash, it's a dumb move and surely an ipad killer if anything. A mindful Stevie's job is to at least wait it out until HTML 5 before pulling the plug on Flash. Not that some featureless joojoo (for a ridiculous price) is going to make waves here. Android and Chrome tablets can and will steal the show this time if marketing folks can put together winning executions. Sorry, but of all google looks the dumbest for asking $79.99/month (courtesy of T-Mobile) for a tryin to catch up late with its Google Nexus One, and when even Apple can do $29.99 for a useless iPad. The Google marketing guys ought to be fired. Chrome is faster than IE but it’s a stupid memory hog for no good reason and will eventually make you reboot (_in less than a week_).
