Description:

Gnash/OpenGL performance is wholly abominable, delivering one or two frames per second at best on machines with perfectly adequate video hardware. To fix this, Gnash should instead be compiled to use Antigrain, which is less buggy and known to work fine on most machines.

Additional info:
* gnash-common 0.8.4-1


Steps to reproduce:

Install Gnash and attempt to view any Flash banner or other animation. I can guarantee that you will get ~1 frame per second.
This task depends upon

Uh oh... It looks like the Gnash packages are orphaned on both architectures. Is there anyone available to maintain them?

OGL is the upstream default renderer and is working better for me than agg. If this is different for you there is something wrong with your hardware or drivers.
