High CPU usage when viewing a video on Twitch.tv

When viewing a video on Twitch.tv (such as http://www.twitch.tv/thetombobblendershow/b/327232924), the CPU usage fluctulates between 20-40% and makes Opera 12.50 (Build 1538) run slowly. This issue only occurs when HWA is enabled and OpenGL is being used as the backend.

I've noticed Opera has high CPU usage playing any flash videos. Well, not playing, but buffering the video. Once the video is fully loaded CPU usage drops. It's been an issue since 12.

Agree, same here since I updated to version 12. Terrible lagging in any flash in the begging of every video and as ugly95 said on buffering. No such problem in opera 11.64 which was by far the best version. Opera 12 was my biggest disappointment ever.. mega buggy. That new plugin wrapper is causing annoying cpu spikes on any video.
