Just look at the demos at his website (binaries for various platforms
available)... :)
We do not optimize for speed at the moment, of course, as we want a
working renderer first and will optimize it later. However, a quick
test (without Gnash, no optimizations) showed that +/- 90 anti-aliased
solid triangles per second are possible on a 100 MIPS device (no fpu!)
at 320x240 (our current embedded device). I'm sure it could be
even improved.

Yes.

No, actually it's a working gui and backend (we call "gnash" with a
SWF file) that renders directly to /dev/fb0.

However, I think it's too early to put in CVS because we still are
playing with the code to learn both Gnash and AGG...

I can send you a screenshot if you like... ;)
