Since Flash appeared in scene, i knew that it was prone to abuse by greedy web developers.
Still today, you could see some webpages that display 5 or more flash files running at the same time. Each one of these files wants whole network bandwidth, whole processor attention and all memory they can get... Could HTML5 stop this non sense??? Flash is, like Director, a movie player that requires all computer resources to ensure smooth playback. In theory, if you are using your computer to play a movie, you should not try to type a letter or hear music, or use another applications. Your whole attention must be focused in that single movie that Flash is playing. But flash plugin (and developers) do not acknowledge this. In any moment, and without notice, you could have 25 or 30 flash players running swf and flv content in your browser. If Adobe enforced a rule of "only last player runs", Flash would gain greater appreciation among all developers.
