I use Gnash as my only Flash player, and it generally works well
enough for me. However, I have occasionally seen crazy CPU usage and
even complete crashing of Iceweasel, once even getting it in such a
state that I couldn't kill it without killing Gnash first (it took me
a few minutes to figure that one out), and, for the record, the
culprit behind that situation was Google Translate! (Which I didn't
even realise used Flash.)
