I battled to try and get Flash working on a 64bit install.  I got
nspluginwrapper to run, but not to produce sound.  Eventually gave up

I noticed no difference in performance.  I am sure there is probably
some, but think describing this as "a ton of performance" is wrong.

This was FC5 on a AMD Atholon 3200+, btw.
