Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for Mac would be much faster

Looks like Apple is forcing Adobe to do some major updates on their Flash Player for the Mac platform.

Adobe has revealed that the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 edition would be much faster on Mac and would match the performance on Windows operating system.

The company stated:

In Flash Player 10.1 we are moving to Core Animation, which will further reduce CPU usage and we believe will get us to the point where Mac will be faster than Windows for graphics rendering.

With Flash Player 10.1, we are optimizing video rendering further on the Mac and expect to reduce CPU usage by half, bringing Mac and Windows closer to parity for video.

This could just be the beginning as Adobe tries to answer Apple’s claims that Flash is slow and buggy.

    I hope Apple starts making Adobe quake in its boots to get Steve's approval of Flash. Adobe, kiss Steve's pinky ring. Adobe had better get Flash working equal to the Windows version on Macs. Right now, it pretty much sucks. I use ClickToFlash to block Flash banners on 99% of the websites I use and run the beta version of Youtube to watch H.264 videos. I know how fast Flash runs on my Macs even when I use VMWare Fusion there is less processor cycles used than when in native OSX. Steve called Adobe "lazy" and maybe that gave them a nice kick in the pants.
