On HTC Desire whith froyo (android 2.2) the HTML5 version is slow and same thing on ipHone 3gs/4g.
HTML5 – QRCode
FlashVersion – QRCode
My conclusion is : HTML5 consume more CPU than Flash, HTML5 monomaniacs are lying ;)
But my real conclusion is that if i had to write something with a high refresh rate ( a game blitting engine for example ) it’s a better choice to do it with Flash.
