 John, the comment you are replying to is from 9 months ago and refer to
 playing the video in the url below, not to games:

 The mentioned Flash games remain unplayable and I only see two ways
 forward:

  - work with Adobe in incorporating Geode optimizations in the flash
 plugin,

  - work with Gnash in improving their Flash support and try to get good
 performance in our hardware.

 Also, by using a flash version that uses Xv, we don't need to care about
 profiling X.
