It seems that Shumway can give a new life to Flex. Because two major problems with Flex are seems to be fixed i.e. Multithreading (with worker process) and now running swf without Flash player (with Shumway).
Shumway is an experimental web-native runtime implementation of the SWF file format. It is developed as a free and open source project sponsored by Mozilla Research. The project has two main goals:
1. Advance the open web platform to securely process rich media formats that were previously only available in closed and proprietary implementations.
2. Offer a runtime processor for SWF and other rich media formats on platforms for which runtime implementations are not available. is an experimental web-native runtime implementation of the SWF file format.

The Open Web can be further advanced by making rich media capabilities,previously only available in Flash, also available in the native web browser stack. Shumway is an exciting opportunity to do that for SWF, and we welcome support from external contributors as we advance the technology. We are reaching out to technical users who are interested in contributing to the Shumway implementation in these five areas:
1. Core. This module includes the main file format parser, the rasterizer, and event system.
2. AVM1. JavaScript interpreter for ActionScript version 1 and version 2 bytecode.
3. AVM2. JavaScript interpreter and JIT compiler for ActionScript version 3 bytecode.
4. Browser Integration handles the glue between the web browser and the Shumway runtime.
5. Testing/Demos. Add good demo and test files/links to Shumway.
Enjoy the runnig example of swf in the following link :-
http://mozilla.github.com/shumway/examples/inspector/inspector.html?rfile=../racing/race3.swf
However I noticed that the performance of the example is vary from system to system and browser to browser.. It displays a very high performance in Mozilla Firefox browser. Also you'll found that the running swf(i.e. race3.swf) displays better performance on Shumway as compared to Flash player.(You can download the example and can run the swf on your system.)
