  Your N810 uses hardware decoding, which is why the performance is 
acceptable. Doing 100% software decoding and rendering on a 400Mhz 
processor with only 64M of RAM is always going to be slow. I have found 
that if you play a video without having to rescale, a 400Mhz cpu can do 
10-15 fps, but with 64M, there isn't much room for buffering.

  Btw, the Gnash reference manual talks about cross configuring and 
compiling Gnash for the ARM, it that helps. Me, I configure with 
--enable-media=ffmpeg --enable-jemalloc CXXFLAGS=-O3.
