Macs displaying flash

how come macs do such a crappy job of loading flash. everything from games to sometimes animation is just ‘slow’. its still smooth, but it doesn’t run at the normal FPS as the movie.

i know its dependant on MHz power of the computer, but shouldn’t a 700Mhz mac with 256 RAM run flash movies pretty smoothly and quickly, is there any way i can make a game i made, run quicker on the macs. (trust me, turning the FPS up doesn’t help one bit)
