Blerg the Flash platform isn't the best... it's quite a memory/CPU hog...

Depends on how you designed it to render.

---

It has to render a good amount of frames before they can be executed. You can't have the game render in real time, it would really use up the CPU for not very important visuals.

---

Take YouTube for example, It buffers the footage before executing it so it will run smoother.

---

Also it shouldn't render too many frames, that will lag the CPU too. [/rant]
