This is a weak spot in Gnash. IO would need some more love.

Anyway, the curl_adapter is where you should look at.

It caches all it reads from network into a local file, to allow
for seek-backs w/out reading all in memory.

For blocking calls it enters a loop which may be the cause of the
high CPU usage. It's using select() right now but with a very short
timeout due to weird problems I was having in the past with longer
ones. Might be time to higher that timeout again and go deeper at
figuring what problem it might represent.
