What does temp does your cpu run while using netflix?

I can't stand that Netflix uses microsoft silverlight, as it makes my 2011 2.5 mini run at 90*+ immediately. With chrome and itunes running im idling in the 60's. I don't believe this is a hardware problem, but this made me curious.

What model mini do you own, and what temps does it reach while playing Netflix?

It is because Silverlight is more CPU intensive than having iTunes and Chrome open, thus the more power is needed to feed the CPU's hunger, and the more power the more heat is generated and radiated and needs to be pushed away.

Would you rather it be Flash based and stutter every few seconds and crash every hour of movie playback? Silverlight is actually a really good interactive framework.

I don't know about a macmini, but I'm watching Netflix on my iMac right now with Firefox 9.0.1 and my CPU usage is at 10%. I also have iTunes open along with a bunch of other stuff. But then again, the difference could be the quad core i7 in it.
