Perian should allow Quicktime Player to play .flv files. It performs a background translation of some kind (on long videos I've seen a progress bar appear that's not part of Quicktime Player, not part of the Finder) before playback begins rendering from Quicktime Player.
blasting Flash as a whole based on video playback make no sense to me. The vast majority of Flash isn't video.
It may be that Flash just isn't the best way to go for video, and that for other uses it's not a performance detriment.
The majority of Flash may not be video, but the majority of online video is without question certainly Flash. I'll PM you later today with what I discovered from what you uploaded.
