What? VideoRam is a completely unused and bogus metric. On your machine, it should be set to 256MiB and the amount of RAM actually used by the GPU will be as much as is required (up to all of virtual memory).

I can only speculate that flash uses some kind of unaccelerated fallback code when it can't allocate enough video RAM. the web is full of "why is flash so slow on linux?" posts, with barely any solutions, so you might wanna consider increasing the default.
