Some Mac OS X users are reporting extraordinarily high CPU usage with Flash Player 10. This occurs with both OS X 10.5.7 and earlier and the new OS X 10.6 ('Snow Leopard')
Adobe is aware of this issue and is researching the possible causes.
As of 9/15/2009 Adobe Customer Care is asking that any users with these issues participate in one of two Flash Player Public Bugs on the topic. Adobe Flash Player Engineering is watching these requests. Users should vote for the bug and add _constructive_ feedback about their experience.
The Adobe Flash Player is a widely distributed proprietary multimedia and application player created by Macromedia and now developed and distributed by Adobe after its acquisition. Flash Player runs SWF files that can be created by the Adobe Flash authoring tool, by Adobe Flex or by a number of other Macromedia and third party tools. I have Adobe Flash CS5.5 (application) and Adobe Player. They have different versions. The Adobe Player is supposed to be updated what I followed the instruction above. It directed to Adobe Flash CS5.5 to be updated – instead of Adobe Player. Now, Adobe Flash’s version is 11.5.1.349 and Adobe Player’s version is 10.2.153.1.
Users who are not familiar with the Flash Player public bugbase should first read:

Apple has fixed an issue in Snow Leopard that was silently downgrading users to a vulnerable version of Adobe Flash Player.
Security researchers had taken Apple to task about the issue a week ago after it was revealed users who upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6 were downgraded to Adobe Flash version 10.0.23.1. The latest version of Flash is version 10.0.32.18, which has been patched to address a number of vulnerabilities.
Latest Adobe Flash Player For Mac
The fix came out Sept. 10 along with a massive update for Mac OS X Server 10.5, Mac OS X Server 10.4.x (universal), Mac OS X Server 10.4.x (PowerPC), Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Mac OS X 10.4.11 that plugged more than 30 security holes.

Among them are fixes for Alias Manager, CarbonCore, ImageIO, CoreGraphics and ColorSync - all of which have vulnerabilities that could lead to arbitrary code execution, according to Apple.
Also included are fixes for a number of third-party components, including ClamAV, Adobe Flash, PHP and MySQL.
