It's going to suck again, either with the final release of Flash 10 or 
11. There is talk of Flash integrating the PaperVision library to allow 
ActionScript to do 3D animations. Right now, this is completely 
portable, because everything is done on the CPU. Software rendering in 
it's latest, virtual machine format.

With all the noise Adobe is making about the next version of PhotoShop 
utilizing the video card to do image processing, I'm expecting them to 
try the same in Flash. How well this will work across all the various 
*nix platforms, I can only imagine.
