From macromedia (regarding flash5 player):
Movies which have been set with a high frame rate (30-120 frames per second) may consume more system resources (CPU cycles).
The Macromedia Flash Player 5 will try to achieve higher frame rates than previous players. One result of this is a machine may be forced to work too hard to achieve this higher frame rate, reducing overall system performance.
To prevent this, set the frame rate of the movie close to the actual target rate. Use 15 to 18 frames per second as a guideline.
from Moooooock:
because in flash the "fps" setting doesn't actually stay the same between different machines. fps is like a speed limit: you can tell a movie not to play faster than the specified fps, and all machines will obey, but you can't tell a movie to stay above a certain frame rate. if a machine doesn't have the processing power to render the frames at the specified fps, the movie will simply run more slowly.
