FYI: these are the top causes for wakeups reported by powertop
     on my machine while both gtk-gnash AND the adobe's player
     play the *same* movie (10.0s interval):

  64.5% (476.6)       flashplayer : futex_wait (hrtimer_wakeup)
   8.5% ( 62.9)         gtk-gnash : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
   8.4% ( 62.2)       flashplayer : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)

The process_timeout seems pretty "compatible" (heart-beat++?)

Does anyone have ideas about what could the hrtimer_wakeup call
performed by adobe's be ?
