The research on this has been done, a few years ago, by professors in Ireland and Austria. Adobe is one VM upgrade away from being on-par with Android/Dalvik, SquirrelFish and LuaJit, in terms of performance. Adobe already has the technology to improve performance under their noses, but I don't know what is taking them so long. But I can tell you this: once they implement the already published fixes, you can expect at least 60% performance improvement in Flash player, by my calculations .. -- edit, removed irrelevant facts.
