Flash performance on radeon driver (Fedora 11)

[planetf1]

I'm seeing very poor flash performance on my i686 system running F11 
(core duo 2.1Ghz 3Gb ram)

An old adobe blog has some discussion > 
http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/05/flash_uses_the_gpu.html

Checking their stated requirements for:
# GL_ARB_multitexture
# GL_EXT_framebuffer_object
# GL_ARB_shader_objects
# GL_ARB_shading_language_100
# GL_ARB_fragment_shader
and
client glx vendor string be something besides "SGI".
not using compiz

Obviously radeon "fails" the last -- but that's incorrect of Adobe, and 
hopefully something they've since fixed. Also I use compiz.. those 
"requirements" can be discussed...!

But on the capabilities I had a look at my glxinfo and it appears I also 
do not satisfy the last 3. Is this my configuration or something that 
isn't yet supported in the driver.

Currently using
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-18.fc11.i586
kernel-PAE-2.6.30.5-32.fc11.i686 (same issue with 2.6.29)

thinking about trying
xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.5-2.10.20090714git.fc11.i586

although radeon works for me for everything else
