Ouch. Well, u2_has.swf is a bad beast. I hope our AGG-optimizer
guy will take his time to take a look at it too, to see how the
optimization change that.

Anyway I was only pointing out that the "catch-up" mechanism will
result in non-regular (not smooth) FPS experience, that is: gnash
will go faster when possible (ie: easy-to-render slices) rather then
continue with at *most* the nominal FPS.

Note that I just committed another patch implementing a frame-drop
mechanism. It's off by default because causes unpleasant behaviour
when being too late (never re-renders...) so needs to be cleaned up more.
If you want to give it a try, define SKIP_RENDERING_IF_LATE in gui/gui.h.

This is as of revision 10918.
