Here (from Brazil) it is OK, no problems (Firefox 3.5.5, Windows Vista). Try to clear the cache, see if it helps. Despite that I agree that they could have done a better job, the problem is not Flash itself but the design and architecture in my opinion. They created a huge SWF file with 2.4MB (I don't know why they didn't use Flash modules and RSLs), it is using HTTPS for everything, it is compressing even small XML messages, the interface has a small font and too many widgets for my taste.
