I also could never get the 64bit flash to work wiith konqueror-3.5, and 
nspluginwrapper simply never ever worked at all for me. I had to use firefox 
to view flash.

Latest adobe-flash is 64 bit and works well in konqueror-4.2. Top reports 
around 10% cpu usage when idle, but that's probably more due to a stupid 
blocking IO strategy by Adobe than anything else.

So as I see it your choices are:

firefox
kde-4
