As unfortunate as it is that flash player doesn't do graphics very well at this version, I figure they eventually have to update it? So wouldn't they fix that eventually? They probably just decided to re think how it processes it so that they can make preform acne faster, right? Is this something they might do?

How kong is it usually between flash player updates?

The Scratch Team is currently working on a fix on their end to make Scratch run normally again (without Flash fixing the libraries), and that is expected to be out in three weeks or so.
