Comment on V8 benchmark run against ActionScript in a wide amount of browsers/FlashPlayerssparent

Thanks for the link. Yes is it sad that many (most?) developers are only paying attention to the headline CPU benchmarks rather than the GUImark 3 benchmark which for me is much closer to real world apps.

The GUImark benchmark tests clearly show that while Flash video on current mobile devices is not quite as good as HTML5 (because of Flash's lack of support for Video Hardware acceleration - which apparently is fixed with Flash 10.3?), for Bitmap and vector rendering Flash still has a X2 performance advantage.
