But it can run 10x faster or even more, and it is a lot like Java/C++ in a way. And it is able to do awesome 3D effects by using API's like Papervision or Away3D or Sandy. I have seen lots and lots of cool effects made by many creative people but it is a pity that almost all effects remain effects that is just "for show". But yes, there are a handful of people actually using the 3D to make their websites and games. I have used papervision myself to make 2 games, namely Snowball 08 and Kondense. To conclude, Flash CS3 is powerful and can render 3D with less than 10% lag, depending on how the developer codes the program, but some Flash users who venture into 3D start learning and stop and some start building cool effects and show off and stop. But I would suggest to not stop here. Start using the 3D to design websites, and then make applications and games using the 3D. So you are not only able to make something cool and say "Look!" but you are also able to make something in flash 3D that can and will be used/played by people.
