I got several replies. Here's a summary of what worked or didn't.

I installed adblock plus, but it didn't solve the problem. CPU use dropped 
only slightly, but adblock killed all the pictures and the icons at the top 
of the page (but only some of the flash!!) so YNET was not really usable.

This did seem to solve the problem, but, although I agree there's to much 
flash on YNET, killing it all seems to be over-kill.

I don't think that's true. After installing flash blocker, the scrolling news 
was also gone. Clicking on the location it usually appears re-enabled the 
scrolling news and CPU use only went up about 2%.

As I mentioned above, the flash blocker did reduce CPU use, but my box is an 
AMD 4200 dual core. A few flash windows should not have any real impact on 
the CPU. In fact, with 10 - 15 tabs open (and many of them use flash), I get 
about 2% (or less) CPU usage. Opening YNET jumps that to 140% (as I wrote 
earlier - over 70% on each core). That really makes no sense.
