I have a single 512MB DIMM too, a Kingston Value one, untweaked.

Identical here, except mine's on IRQ 5 which it shares:
   5:   98985553          XT-PIC  uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, eth0, 
via at pci:0000:01:00.0

So mine might be expected to be slow, with my USB ADSL modem and 
ethernet interface sharing an IRQ with the graphics.

iirc there were some substantial improvements made, it might be worth 
trying something more recent. But from what others have said here, it 
won't fix problems playing Flash, because the Flash player wouldn't take 
advantage of hardware acceleration anyway.

Cheers,
