Yes, it does. Before I go any farther, though, Terry Schussler deserves the
credit for pointing this out to me.
Anything that's not frame-based works better at a low frame rate: Flash,
video, audio, and probably some others.
The reason is pretty straightforward. If you're at 30fps, Director is
issuing prepareFrame, enterFrame, and exitFrame messages 30 times per
second. By the time they've been passed up the food chain looking for a
home, you've wasted a significant number of CPU cycles. It's better to free
that CPU time to play the video.
Cordially,
