I wouldn't base timing on animation length, gnash could as well have
problems with time sync. Check CPU usage to figure if gnash is really
being busy.

Most likely yes. This adds a second known expensive operation: rendering
gradients. The other one was rendering bitmaps.

That one looks like the constructor, should have been called only once.
It's weird that it takes so much time.
Also check the call graph of the profiler output.
