 * To begin with, I thank you for this great plugin.
 * But
    What about the cpu usage ?
 * Displaying the current latest wp cumulus on my blog, I remarked that the cpu 
   usage is incredibly high.
 * Is there a way to “cut” the display process when the mouse is not over the flash?
 * ( and calling it to reactivate the process, like an “interrupt” in our x86 CPUs)

 * Flash has a tendency to hog the cpu, without actually causing the PC to become
   sluggish. The numbers that Windows reports are usually a bit overdrawn. On my
   Intel E6600-based PC the movie never causes more than 25% processor load, and
   I can have several playing at the same time without the machine becoming unresponsive.
   The movie will stop animating after the mouse exits, which should help a little,
 * That being said, WP-Cumulus is basically a toy, and I guess everyone has to decide
   for themselves whether it is worth the extra weight. Making the movie smaller(
   in terms of display dimensions) will help a little.

 * Thanks,
 * well Yes, but in the same time WP-Cumulus is an interresting extra.
 * With some of my old computer, it can brind the CPU up to 40% (under linux).
 * So i find it strange, and I ‘m there is a way to “cut” the process.
 * If the flash cannot itself ( i’m not a flah expert ) maybe with some flash + 
   javascript.

 * For the next version, I’ll look into actually stopping some loops if the movie
   isn’t animating. That should really cut down on processor time.
