What on earth are you talking about? You're comparing HTML5 today to Flash with their maturity? I would bloody well hope Flash is still faster.

The reason HTML5 is the future is it doesn't have the Adobe bottleneck. Is sound bad right now? Then browser makers can fix it. Is Flash a CPU hog? Wait until Adobe cares enough and has enough resources to fix it. Get it?

But HTML 5 is being touted as a drop-in Flash replacement today. And it's clearly not.

I don't think anyone is saying that. I think people are saying it's a better idea to invest in HTML5 today. And with that I would absolutely agree. Flash has jumped the shark.
