Flash Player 10 slow-down in portrait...

Hi. We are developing touch-screen interfaces in AIR that are displayed at high resolution (1920 x 1020) in portrait mode. We have observed some serious performance issues with Flash player 10 when running on displays that have been rotated 90 degrees. We suspect that it has something to do with the interaction between the graphics drivers and Flash player, but have observed the problem on several different configurations of hardware and drivers. When running video in a window that we have dragged halfway between two displays on the same machine, one in portrait, the other in landscape (in other words, half of the window is displaying on the display in portrait mode, the other half is displaying on a display in landscape) the part that is running in landscape is playing back smoothly while the half displaying in portrait mode is extremely choppy. We noticed the same effect when running the same test in Adobe Media Player. In a similar test doing a crossfade between two large images, the performance on the portrait mode display was poor to the point of being unusable. I love developing for the Flash platform, but unless we can find a solution to this problem, we will have to find another development platform. HELP!!!!
