To the best of my knowledge Flash has never supported the XVideo extension. The reason for this is that Xv scales YUV data and Flash uses RGB data. Now could this be converted and scaled absolutely, but Adobe has decided they are not going down that road. My guess as to the minor release performance slow down, is that the linux flash player gained Mpeg-4 video support in that release. H.264 is much more processor intensive and would explain the performance problems seen after the upgrade. This same release was also the first release that supported the Xembed protocol. Some inefficiency there could also have created the video performance problem. Hope that helps to clear up the playing field.
