I’d appreciate to hear what you guys find with video; not just playback, but overall performance.
Here’s some links to ease out the insanity:

Well I’ve found tile based game engines to run a lot faster, almost twice as fast in one case.
I noticed that with Player 6 2advanced seemed to have some slowdown. Tried the site with 7, and it almost seems the same, with a slight improvement in speed.
Still, it’s hard to estimate how much faster the player is seeing that sites usually don’t contain an FPS counter.
On a side note… with the recent release of a Central screenshot, and now this beta, I guess this proves that MX2 will be out this fall. Makes sense since they usually release a new version around every 18 months or so…
Did some tests: http://www.flashmagazine.com/html/830.htm
Got about 50% increase for both vector drawing and scripts. Slight increase for bitmaps too.

Tested 4 sites with video, overall they seemed to play better, except one, which was slower. vids are about 500k each, streaming from main timeline. but, I’m on a sat. connection, which varies, so that could have caused the slowness. I tested 12 sites and found no bugs. everything worked as usual. I didn’t notice any speed improvements on vectors, but like I said, my connection speed varies.
The mouse-wheel support rocks! Works fine here :)
