A question is whether HTML5 can be as fast and lightweight as flash. I think it's a big part of the experience and can be hit or miss in HTML, with some things being faster but others resource hogs (like video). The good thing about flash was its more or less consistent performance, and generally not very cpu intensive

I think one of the complaints about Flash was it was very cpu intensive! It would not even work on the earlier iPhones - one of the reasons it died. The recent threads about Flash go into further detail.
