Indeed. When you use the brush tool instead of the line tool, Flash auto maps all these possible corners of whatever shape you paint. It really does slow a lot of stuff down.
If you are a brush addict like me, this causes issues down the line. There is an option under Modify -> Shape -> Optimize where you force flash to re-evaluate the object and reduce all the points. This actually works surprisingly well and will usually cut the corners down to a minimal 5-10 per object (as opposed to 100+ as in the picture).
