THE DIFFICULTY OF BLITTING A BITMAP TO THE SCREEN

Also the API involves calling the plugin 1000 times per second or so. Firefox reduced CPU usage 30fold for background tabs by increasing the delay to 33ms in that case.

Whenever somebody complains about high CPU usage in plugins they just increase the delay in the loop. The plugin authors respond by moving everything to another thread.

Chrome attempted to run it at low priority but that didn't work very well because plugins use native widgets onto the main browser window, so if they starve for CPU the whole browser freezes.
