That is not performance, that is resource usage.

As a game developer who has programmed in ActionScript3, I can tell you that Flash was very performant for 2D graphics.

Requiring all of my computer's resources in order to get good performance is bad performance.

There is a difference between "the most graphic intensive games available spin up my CPU" and "literally any game on flash spins up my CPU".
