Yes this is true, the fan of the computers must spin much faster and this generate noise and stress. when reading the news, the flash plugin is the major case of waste of power (and the lost of battery life of the notebooks) because one core of my cpu is under heavy load with stupid animations and annoying advice banners. This is a good news because if multiple instance of the plugin was used multiple core of your cpu was infected with this piece of inglorious software! I think that firefox use one single instance of flash plugin for all the tabs of the browser, in fact when the plugin crash, crash in all the tabs. The browser (Firefox in my case) is the major used application, 4-8 hour/day and 250-300 day/year is a running application. I think that the worst piece of software of my fedora 11 linux boxes is the flash player plugin.
