It’s the idea that somehow once HTML 5 is here performance issues will be gone that drives me nuts. Flash isn’t the reason we have annoying ads and bad code. People are.

I played the following clip in Safari 4.04 (Mac OS X 10.6.2 – 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 gigs of RAM), and got the following results in my activity monitor.

Flash Player: http://www.daveglanzproductions.com/youtube-flash.jpg

HTML 5 Player: http://www.daveglanzproductions.com/youtube-html5.jpg

The CPU usage stayed between 13 and 25 percent for me. It seems to play just as well on my desktop at work.

It’d be nice, of course, if the HTML 5 player had full screen capabilities, but I’m sure that’s not too far off.

I’m sure these is just a symptoms of the early state of the browser implementations and the developers’ approach, but for Gruber to write it up like it trumps the Youtube (flash-based) player experience is ridiculous (I’d add ‘irresponsible’ if he were some kind of actual journalist.)
