Probably, yes. I tested it in my somewhat old iMac, running Mac OS X v10.6.8, and it behaved as reported above. I just now tried it in a new MacBook Air running Mac OS X v10.9.5 and there is no sluggishness, but there are bugs. For example, I can't find the editing tools I could see on the other machine. Flash has never been a good thing in the Mac OS -- which is strange, because it comes from one of the most successful Mac developers, Adobe. So maybe the fault lies not with Flash, but with the browser -- in my case, that's the latest Firefox on both machines.
But back to our regularly scheduled programming! (I seem to be derailing things lately. Mother will not be pleased.)
