It was expensive on cpu because the code was doing too much of the compositing on its own, every render and it was far from optimized. Back in 2007, having bumpy shiny surfaces in Flash was hot and very experimental. Very fun and challenging flash period.
now, looking at your sources, just use the alpha channels to composite and use the results as as diffusemaps.
