I decided to try pokki and see how it works. I do like that its browser free, and even though it still uses flash, the actual flash plugin process stays at pretty low resource usage while the pokki processes takes the brunt of the work. Therefore not lagging flash on my computer overall (Youtube, 1channel.ch etc).
But after being on for 2-3 hours the game gets very laggy where it's unplayable and I have to refresh. This is not pokki but my computer I'm sure, but overall for me the browser works better in my case.
It's a pretty nifty little program though. I think I'll use it on my gaming rig when I set it up!
Thanks RGC.
