150K is not big at all. Thats the size of a large image (most detailed
screen shots are about that high). I have seen a bit of lag when first
hitting a largish flash movie, is there a "fire up the flash player" lag
time (I have a really slow computer btw)? and if there is, is it just
the first time (like the Java JVM)?

(My $0.0002) -- If they use soap (which flex says it can do) I would
agree, because they are only passing the needed data as opposed to the
full on page for every action. Unless they are passing huge structures
or arrays that is.
