While watching streams of Olympia in both HTML5 (on Chrome) and Flash i found HTML5 to take nearly twice as much CPU then Flash.

Might be due to the implementation of the sites (german broadcasters ard & zdf) but flash works pretty awesome for me.

Besides that it's a shame that the option to just get the stream running in VLC is such a hassle (with VLC I get much lower CPU usage + the ability to freely move and resize the video and place it somewhere on my second screen, even fullscreen)
