Maybe so, but the difference is that javascript is an open development standard under the control of a standards body (the ECMAScript standard). As such, javascript execution can and, in fact, has been highly optimized by many implementers, including Apple in its WebKit framework. In the last couple of years, Apple has been able to improve javascript performance by huge amounts by the development of novel rendering techniques (e.g. SquirrelFish Extreme):

With Flash, on the other hand, any and all optimization depends entirely on the whims and corporate goals of a private entity--Adobe. Adobe has shown no interest in optimizing Flash performance for the Mac platform.

Yes. I agree with this assessment.
