Generally when the flash player is playing slowly it is pushing the system resources (mhz, ram etc…). This is only a suggestion, but perhaps the swf that you are loading is putting a bit of strain on your system (too many elements playing at once?). The size of the file shouldn’t make a difference as it is downloaded and played from a cache.
I think for further help you might need to show us an example of what is happening, unless someone else has any suggestions?

The only suggestion I can make would be:
A) think about the neccessity of having both movies run at the same time. Why are you doing it? In most cases there is little or no reason to have two swfs playing at the same time in two different levels.
B) (if you must have them both running simultaniously) check each one for movie clips that are moving, or tweens that are opperating. If any of the movie clips are not neccessary, turn their \_visible property to false.
The biggest drag on processor power is an object who’s \_alpha property is not 100% moving over another object. The second biggest drag is an object with lots of vectors moving. look for instances of those two things and try to illiminate as many as possible.
