ALEXF  The Safari plugin shoots the CPU up to 100% and never lets go of it until you restart Safari. Whatever it's doing it's not using that 100% to play videos -- they stutter along like a slideshow.

This is on a clean install of Leopard.   (Version 2.2.0.49)

FHF  This version of Flip4Mac WMV Player brought my Aluminum PowerBook to its knees. For weeks my computer randomly crashed at least once a day. In addition, it would often refuse to sleep, or had a dark screen (and was unresponsive) when awakened from sleep, or went dead during sleep. Occasionally got the 'gray screen of death' ("This computer must be restarted"). And when it was working, internet access was very slow ("contacting xxxx"). Extremely frustrating.

Re-installed OS 10.4.11, ran disk permissions, DiskWarrior, nothing fixed the problem. Started removing any system modifiers one by one: Quickeys, SafariBlock, EarthDesk, Perian. No better. Stopped using my wireless USB mouse. No better. Finally removed the very last non-stock item: WMV Player. Bingo. I can now put the computer to sleep as often as I want, it wakes normally, internet access is satisfyingly zippy. My PowerBook is born again, and has been working fine for several days.

One by one I re-installed Quickeys, SafariBlock, and my wireless mouse. No problems whatsoever. I'm not about to re-install WMV Player to relive my misery; there's no doubt in my mind that it was the source of my difficulties.   (Version 2.2.0.49)
