I think the performance issue was solve with the latest releases from Flash Player. Which version currently do you have installed?
Don't blame the player only, depending on video quality, codec and so on. It's very CPU or GPU intensive to transcode a Video.

Well if u having problems with yr cpu useage to 100% u will not found a solution above in this thread/posts. I hope u are lucly and see the last post.(mine)
and don't waste yr time reading as I did.
I can say this about this CPU problem i have too. It may be a graphics card problem or O/S.
Before 3 days i had windows xp-sp1 and a video card =( ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB DDR
and all things was fine. videos - games in browser... steady CPU 0-10%
I upgrade to windows xp-sp2 and video card =( ATI Radeon HD2600 Pro 512MB DDR2 AGP
and the problem begin... cpu is on fire 80-100%
I update my drivers in latest and did some other things read in forums but nothing helped. 3 days now I am fighing to find a solution.
(sry for bad english)

I put a vacuum cleaner hose next to fan output and took some of the dust that was inside. I was really surprised with the effect - now Flash media plays a lot better. However I will still open it to clean it up better, since I have seen the difference after basic cleaning already. I also don't recommend you the way I did it - it's completely not safe for your hardware. It's better to open it, take fan and a radiator out of it and then clean it up the way it should be done.
BTW, first I tried many things - including reinstalling my browser, flash, turning off all of unneeded plugins but it didn't help much. My laptop is 2yo and for last year it has been running 24/7.
I recommend you to clean it first and then loose your time on fighting with the software.
Good luck!

Well here we are, years after this thread was started and still people are having the very same problem. I found a useful article here:
http://www.caspianit.co.uk/youtube-taking-100-processor/
It doesn't fix the problem completely, but it did help me to speed things up quite a bit on my system.

Issue: While in-game, framerate suddenly drops from solid 60 fps to 53~54 fps or sometimes even to stable 30 fps (both in windowed and fullscreen mode). During this framerate drops cpu usage of a single core is maxed out, where it would be around 25% of a single core when running at 60 fps. Minimzing and maximizing the app solves the problem sometimes, and exiting to the main menu DOES NOT solve it.
How to reproduce: The only repeatable way that I've found to trigger the issue is, after opening the game (windowed and if the issue is not already present from the start), within the menu change the focus to the desktop, and then back to the game. When returning to the game the app starts maxing out a core.

It's now official as to how adobe fooled customers ( ofcourse freely ) for 2-3 years for this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_10#Adobe_Flash_integration .
The netbook is almost extinct now by this approach.Laptops are reportedly causing global warming.
Market is owned by almost adobe's youtube (with monetization, ads and what nots) and hundreds of other tubes and temporarily facebook.
The flash player's (which is also a 'Freeware') Integration with IE at this point gives them the edge to be as heavyweight for other OSes while being smooth with already heavy windows 7 and 8.
Adobe has become so powerful ( in terms of dependency as videos /visual media remains the most popular and effective ) that it can not only drain batteries, overheat CPUs but also decide hardware market and make sure they are changed every couple of years.
