The choice of distro depends on your hardware. If you only have 256MB RAM and a slow processor, then you need something very lightweight. But since you are already running ubuntu pretty smoothly, i don't see a reason to switch.
As for your performance issues:
Check out this site SCALE 8x: Gnash, the free Flash player [LWN.net] Among other things it says:
Quote:
Gnash uses either Gstreamer or FFmpeg for media handling. He noted that most distributions use Gstreamer to avoid the codec issues, but that FFmpeg is much faster...
Which are you using?
Are you running gnash standalone or as a browser plugin? If a plugin, which browser?

But there are limits to how fast the flash can be played, flash usually cannot utilize hardware acceleration. Do you need to run your ads in flash format? How about converting it into an mpeg (using e.g. ffmpeg) and running that with mplayer?

NAME
openhpi - an implementation of the SA Forum's Hardware Platform Interface DESCRIPTION
OpenHPI is an implementation of the SA Forum's Hardware Platform Interface, which provides a standard C library interface to manage, monitor, and control hardware (both local and remote). OpenHPI 2.x implements the HPI B.01.01 specification. The OpenHPI client library (libopenhpi) provides all the connection functionality needed by the client application to connect to the OpenHPI daemon running on the local or remote server. ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
Some of OpenHPI's functioning can be changed by setting environment variables. This documents all client environmental settings. OPENHPI_DAEMON_HOST=URL URL for the host running the daemon. This can be "localhost" (default) if the daemon is running on the local host or an ip address. OPENHPI_DAEMON_PORT=PORT_NUMBER The port number the host is listening on for clent connections. Default port is 4743. HARDWARE SUPPORT
OpenHPI provides a number of plugins that talk to different hardware types. The following is a list of tested plugins in OpenHPI 2.x. ipmi An IPMI plugin that can talk locally (via smi interface and OpenIPMI device driver) or remotely (via IPMI over LAN). It supports IPMI 1.5 for standard rackmount servers, and some of IPMI 2.0 for support of ATCA chassis. IPMI plugin depends on libOpenIPMI version 1.4.x. ipmidirect An IPMI plugin designed specifically for ATCA chassis. It implements IPMI commands directly in the plugin. snmp_bc An SNMP based plugin that can communicate with IBM BladeCenter, as well as IBM xSeries servers with RSA 1 adapters. SNMP_BC plugin depends on net-snmp > 5.0.7. sysfs Current status?? watchdog Current status?? OTHER DOCUMENTATION
The definitive guide to HPI is the SA Forum specification at http://saforum.org. More info on OpenHPI can be found at our webpage (http://openhpi.org). SEE ALSO
The following man pages may also be of interest openhpid The openhpi daemon, providing OpenHPI data as a system service. AUTHORS
