A product that has been actively developed for over 14 years had sure as hell better be able to say something more than "our performance is on par with" an emerging technology that is still being developed and isn't even standardized yet.

14 years of development can't do much against the fundamental complexity of whatever the product is supposed to do.
So, does that mean that you are implying that the irreducible complexity of tasks which were non-taxing to 15 year old computers in the early cd-rom "multimedia" era (e.g. various 2d animations and interactivity and video) in some way fundamentally require 100% CPU usage on modern multi-core multi-gigahertz processors?

Frankly I don't buy it.

No that is not what I am implying, although it is a valid fault with nearly all of the software we run on personal computers, not just Flash.
