From my past experience (not so recent to be honest), I found that Gnash is practically horrible. It couldn't load quite a number of Flash apps and when it could, it was hogging CPU like crazy. Even youtube wasn't great at the time. As for Iced Tea, I found that it couldn't load some Java applets (compared to many that Gnash can't in the Flash area), but it proved a decent replacement for binary Java plugin. Not perfect, but works as it seems. -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi.
