8/30/13: Update on lag caused by Adobe Flash pulling support for pixel-bender.
A lot of progress is being made on reworking the Scratch player to overcome the lag glitch caused by Adobe pulling hardware support from their Pixel Bender library. It is a major graphics reworking, so it will need testing after it's ready. The estimate is to launch in two or three weeks. I realize that's a long wait, but we think it will be worth the wait, as it looks like it's also going to really speed up cloning.
Stay tuned!

Seems like Adobe got blasted pretty well on the bug report.

Not really, unfortunately - especially for tablets. While we agree that it's the future, it's still too slow / has very poor browser support for a lot of our needs.

But iOS tablets don't support it anyways. Firefox and Chrome are moving forward pretty quickly, and AFAIK the mobile versions aren't too far behind desktop.Seems like Adobe got blasted pretty well on the bug report.

In any case, it would probably be another year before a full release.
But i suppose there are still some show-stopper unimplemented APIs.

Adobe seem to have been really irresponsible with this, but I'm glad the Scratch Team is fixing it

May I ask, why did Adobe remove pixelbender in the first place? What was their intention?
They said for security reasons - see the linked bug for more info.

I've noticed a (glitchy) hotfix for Fisheye and Whirl a couple days ago - glad to see that the rest will be fixed too
