I don't know about skype, but the flash on some sites is so demanding
(ill-formed?) that it can use all the resources in the machine unless it
is curtailed.  Is it possible you have your browser on one of those
sites, and it only appears to be skype?  One that went hog wild for me
was yahoo finance.  I ended up using noscript and turning it off. End
of problem.
