In my experience, Safari is actually the slowest of them all, when it comes to Flash.

Not on my system!
Flash player 9 is a lot slower under parallels
It runs way smoother in Safari.

I did the benchmark at http://www.powerflasher.de/bench/powerbench.html on 3 different browser/os combo and here are my results MacBook Pro 17″:

mac osx 1.4.8 (while Parallels open)
- safari : 1483
win xp pro on Parallels build 1970
- IE7 : 1536
- firefox 2.0.0.1 : 1044

Here you can check the code execution speed in milliseconds, and the graphics/drawing overhead in fps.

if you create something heavy duty that has an fps counter,
I’ll be glad to post screenshots of the performance.
