is there any way to get flash (or an alternative flash player) to use less CPU when a youtube video is minimised?

This happens in windows in firefox, when a youtube video is minimised it only uses 5 percent of CPU.
In linux it always uses 46 percent of CPU.

So it seems the rendering of the video is still happening even when it is minimised.(in linux)

A user has a chance and here is the path:

1)Launch Firefox
2)Insert into empty address box: http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=CjaC8Pq9-V0&vq=small#t=0
3)Start the video playback
4)Change size of the window of web-browser
