forcing mplayer instead of flash player?

Dear all
On my system (Xubuntu 10.04) flash eats a lot of CPU cycles and
significantly raises the temp of the system.

Is there some way to force Opera to use, say, the gnome-mplayer
browser plug-in instead of the bloated flash players? Alternatively,
could anyone hint where does Opera temporary store the cached Flash
files? Until several months ago these always ended up in /tmp and it
was easy to track them down, but since I'm not quite sure how to track
them.

Thank you
Liviu
