I’ve got a custom FLV video player that I’ve  
setup with a true full screen popup similar to  
that of YouTube’s.

When the video is in the normal browser mode  
the CPU load runs up to like 1 - 2% max. However,  
when I make the video jump to full screen mode  
the CPU load skyrockets up to 15 - 20% and just  
sits there for the entire video.

I didn’t add any extra functionality for when the  
video is in full screen mode so I’m baffled as to  
why the huge jump in CPU load occurs. Also,  
the memory rate stays virtually the same in normal  
and full screen mode.

Any ideas?
