As the comments show, different systems will have different performance benchmarks. Maximizing performance on your dev system doesn't guarantee performance for your users. A full test suite of all platforms and browsers and Flash versions, while possible, seems like a burdensome undertaking for most folk.
I'd spend a lot more time maximizing the performance of my underlying code than benchmarking which platform can edge out the other. If you NEED that edge, you can be sure that some systems out there won't cut it.
