I have had this occur while browsing/loading flash-intensive sites. I had to close Safari, go there with FireFox.

that shows 700% but do you have a 70 core machine?

Yup. Anything Flash related. My fans some on FULL BLAST. CPU is through then roof. And sometimes Safari literally its, and I send the automatic report to Apple.

I HATE FLASH. Always have. And any site I encounter with it? I just close the window.

Adobe Flash is the new Micrososft. LOL

visit the following site with FF or Safari and the CPU use rises to near max.

Dale, I just popped over to that site you mentioned. My CPU usage was about 35%. No big deal at all.

Check out ClickToFlash. It blocks Flash and allows you to load it when wanted it with a simple click. It’s rejuvenated my Safari and keeps the beachballs at bay and the fans spun down.

A must-have plugin for Safari.
