That's actually a very subjective assessment. DTS Flash on a
reasonably fast machine in no way reduces Director to a "crawl", at
least not to me. Now if you put non-DTS Flash, plus video, plus a 3D
sprite, plus #text on the stage at one time, yes, you can expect
slowdowns.
Have you personally seen Director take a serious performance hit
because of Flash you've added? Bear in mind that your idea of
"performance hit" might be very different from my idea of
"performance hit" -- what you see as intolerably slow i might see as
more or less acceptable.
It might not hurt to try a few tests yourself and see what happens
with FL5; could be what you see is tolerable to you. Meanwhile
according to MACR the Flash6 Xtra is ideally going to be available
within 90 days of the FL6 ship, so we might not have long to wait for
performance tests.
