Is Google Chrome’s Shockwave Plugin Making Your Computer Freak Out?

[JMH]

If the issues with Gtalk and Twitter weren't already enough, we're having yet another issue over at Giz HQ. Shockwave is wreaking havoc on our Chrome browsers. Not that Shockwave hasn't already been a resource hog, but today is especially bad. Maybe it's a temporary incompatibility with OS X Mountain Lion or some other random issue that will (hopefully) be patched soon. But we're suffering. Anyone else—especially those of you on other platforms—notice any Shockwave issues in Chrome?

I haven't noticed these problems, and AFAIK you can turn off such a plugin, so I don't see what the problem is. Just a memory leak I suppose.
