Why is Flash power-hungry?
- by Doug
Apple historically argued that Flash was power-hungry, which made it inappropriate for use on mobile devices.
I always thought that was just bluster excusing Apple's exclusion of Flash support from their mobile devices.
But now I see that Adobe acknowledges that Flash is a pig. Why is it a pig? Are there bad programming approaches (that can be explained in layman's terms) that make it so power-hungry?
