Hello,

not to start a holy war or anything, but Flash in itself may not be the
problem. Maybe the flash process doesn't die and sticks around
constantly waking up the CPU, maybe there is a kernel bug or firmware
bug being triggered. If you want to solve this, you need to find out
exactly what is happening. Run powertop, or simliar tools to see if
your CPU is *really* idle.
