Got:
# gnash --version
Gnash 0.7.2
Build options 0.7.2
  Renderer: opengl   GUI: gtk   Sound handler: gst   Decoder: none

it does eat a lot of cpu. Though I have 3d enabled, beryl working
properly, the gnash package seems to be still to heavy for this
system:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
cpu             : 7447A, altivec supported

It's not a problem of machine, since flash works decently on OS X. I
think gnash is still under heavy development and it needs serious
improvements before it can become a real open solution to the adobe
flash.
