Does Flash Encoding Slow Down the Computer?

http://live.pirillo.com - Dimitri just sent me an email, saying that he's really happy we inspired him to live stream. However, he's having an issue that he isn't sure what to do to fix it.

you have no idea what you are talking about...viruses are possible on ALL OS's...just Mac's aren't used as widely as Windows so viruses are made to do the most damage thus they are mostly made for Windows but if you truly believe a virus on a mac is impossible then you are completely hopeless and I'll just end there so I don't waste any more of my time.

@Camboy! you need to update device drivers and optimize your system through Reginout for best performance.

I have this issue with my pc since i installed Tuneup Utilities. For some reason flash based videos started stuttering, even if fully loaded. I dont get this kind of performace problem with SIlverlight or Divx players. Have tried using the rescue option on the software but I still cant get it back to the way it was. No way for system restore as I have disabled it. Any help would be appreciated.

i have similar cpu problems. but its because of the os.

when i use windows xp sp2 i barely get about 10% cpu load no matter what im doing. in games i barely use 40-50%

but in linux ubuntu 8.04 my cpu load when doign nothing is almost 30% and it spikes close to 100% when i run something. i dont notice any lag of my pc and nothing slows. could it be my computer or my monitoring program?

What are you going to do when your mac mini gives up.

One thing that i found interesting is that with the same computer (hardware wise) after putting on the Ubuntu OS, it actually was worse when it came to streaming video and such. What might really rock your marbles (or not) is that I was simply switching from the Xandrof Linux distribution.

inst it maxed out because the it has to compress and uncompress the video and audio streams when its sent or received? ( my computer runs steady at only only 4% cpu on stuff like that ( amazingly, thats what i call POWER, or good software))
