Setting wmode to opaque should not have any major performance impact on your swf. What it basically does is render the swf within the layering system of the HTML page allowing you to set a z-index to layer things above / below Flash. When you leave the wmode as default (window), it means the active / plug-in is actually rendered in its own window seperate to the HTML content and will always sit above the other content on the page.
Yes, definitely try to avoid wmode=transparent!

I don't know why it was working without this in swfobject 1.5 but it works now in swfobject 2. Now I've got to do some reading about the pros and cons of using wmode opaque. I've redesigned the site to avoid using wmode transparent because of its issues. I hope there are no problems with opaque but i guess I'll find out.
