Re: Firefox + Flash = the ultimate resource pig

I have not had a chance to install Flashback yet and today the server came to almost a total stop because of Flash today. Now I see that the problem could be that every user has their own unique install of libflashplayer.so. Possibly because of web sites that wan the user to upgrade to the new Flash and Firefox lets them install plugings to there home directory. I think the server would be able to better deal with Flash if everyone used the same global install of libflashplayer.so.
What is the best way to do this? I don't want to hack 150 mozilla conf files and I don't like the idea of having a sym-link in a users how that needs to be owned by root to prevent the user from overwriting it.

I would like some ideas about what to do about this. I am running LTSP in a school of maybe 120 students and 60 terminals. At any given time there are between 20 to 50 people using the server and maybe half of them are on the Internet. The problem is web sites that use flash to show advertising, it is very common. We need Flash enabled because some educational sites use it as a teaching tool but the majority of Flash is useless crap. Flash is becoming the resource pig of the server. Just 5 people browsing a web site with Flash uses more system resources then 50 people running OpenOffice.
Is anyone else dealing with this problem? What are LTSP admins doing about it?
