Flash Player is also GPU accelerated on Linux x86, but there are a number of limitations there. Compiz, for instance, is a blocker.

In general, “What does GPU acceleration mean?” is a good read.

To be sure, the real world performance of flash 10.1 on my windows PC leaves much to be desired...

What PC do you have Cowboy From Hell?

Even my crappy HP desktop PC at work has no problems sometimes with 10+ tabs open with youtube / todaysbigthing / funnyordie etc etc

And this is while I am working with Photoshop and other softwares running converting audio and video files in the background.

Apart from encouraging piracy (which is not permitted anywhere on maemo.org); why do you think you want it?

Please do not use this site to distribute, link to, or coordinate the distribution of materials for which you have no legal permission to share.

Regardless of your personal position on "piracy", copyright law, EULAs, etc., please consider:
  1. the impact of distributing TI's software here while the Council is actively trying to negotiate with them a legal download for all N900 owners
  2. what would likely happen to maemo.org and the resources it provides should a lawsuit be brought against it

*sigh* ain't it obvious? What else.. but to play flash on any websites of course? Who would want an outdated software if you know there is a newer one on the wild? Yeah it's slow since it has no acceleration but... slow is better than nothing.

Edit:
Nice to hear the council is trying their best bringing this to us

But you don't have nothing. You have an optimised, tested, QAed build of Flash 9. There are hacks around to change the version reported to websites if they incorrectly assert they need Flash 10 or above.

Are there really websites out there which truly require Flash 10.1 and aren't so heavy that using them on a 256MB ARM device is in the realms of fantasy?

I wouldn't get your hopes up, though.

To answer your question, Jaffa, Google Street View is a useful service which requests flash 10. It works also with javascript but not on Microb any more.
