Recognize that Flash is not provided by Fedora which makes this pretty
much off-topic. I think it's safe to assume that Adobe does not read
this list.

Your commentary about flash/hog seems pretty much in line with Steve
Jobs reasoning for not allowing it to be ported to the iPhone (rooted
iPhones can now install a flash port but that is way, way, way OT). By
the way, it seems to work fairly well on my Android (Froyo).

My suggestion to you is that if you don't want to waste the cycles,
uninstall it.
