For those who are running large-scale implementations of K12LTSP I'm
sure you have seen the system load spikes caused by flash. One cause for
this is flash has little to no support for multi-threading. So each
little flash item on a web page opens a _NEW_ instance of flash.

What a system hog!

Good news! Adobe has released an updated version that now supports
multi-core and multithreads. This should ease the loading problems of
hard working servers. Maybe BrainPop can now be viewed without bringing
the servers to their knees!

If you have the adobe-yum repo setup, it's ready for a yum update
flash-plugin
