Just noticed this.  Can anyone else confirm?  Flash in Mac.

Hot MacBooks-Overheating-Safari 4 or Flash Problem?-Is this a fix
OSX10.5.8 Safari Ver.4.0.5 MacBook/MacBook Air/MacBook Pro/G4 PowerBook
All laptops running HOT!
Is Safari 4 the culprit? Or is it Flash?
Download MiniUsage and smc Fan Control to monitor the CPU usage/Temperature/Fan RPM differences.
Play a youtube video on safari, and from the Safari menu bar, drop down any menu from the bar (File/Edit/View/History/Bookmarks/Window/Help) and leave it dropped.
Watch the CPU usage go from 50%-60% down to half, 25%!
The heat and fan revs go down, too.
Quiet and cool... a bliss..
No more persistent sudden/random thermal shutdowns.
So, is it Flash or Safari?
For those that tried this method out.
Post what you experience and think.

So much for... customer feedback or trying to help others.
The plot plikenz.

OK, MacBook Pro (Late 2009 unibody 13" - 2.26 Core Duo, 4Gb RAM) OS 10.6.3, and I use iStatPro with iStatMenus to monitor my system.
Safari 4 watching any random YouTube video
Here's the CPU usage: A scant 18% and this is with Safari, Firefox, Flash, Dreamweaver and Photoshop all running.
And the temp/fan data:
Mind you, this is Tucson, AZ and it's already 87º out. I'm not running the A/C and in my computer room, it's quite warm so 154º is just about normal with two browsers, Flash CS5, DW CS5, and PS CS5 all running. I have two additional fanes running in a ducted setup to draw air from the MacBook and a PC at this workstation.
Opening Safari, and playing a YouTube video added all of two degrees to the CPU temp. Clicking on the menubar and holding it did nothing.
Yes, I'd love my MacBook to run around 90º all the time, but compared to my old G5 iMac which ran 210º-245º all the time, I'll take 154º
