'import pygame' seems to take 6.3s all by itself, and pygame.init()
takes another .5s.  We should at least add a 'print "Please wait"' or
something, if we can't fix the underlying pygame issue.

I see a 'liboil' error message, but it seems to work for me.  Maybe
you didn't have any photos in your journal when you were trying it?

I was able to reproduce this in Browse, for example, on:
 http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/00sunny.swf
(there's also that annoying 'click to start flash' message).
After installing Adobe flash according to the instructions on
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Firefox
this URL worked fine in the Firefox activity.

more details please?

In general, it would be helpful if you could file bugs in trac with
issues you've found.
