I actually don't find the performance to be all that bad. Your XUL
example is obviously much faster, however as Sam pointed out, that's
not really a fair comparison. Additionally, I don't think XUL is a
very viable solution given the size of the audience that it addresses.
Performance is your point, however, and not ubiquity, so I will say
that although I find the performance of Flex applications to be quite
acceptable, Macromedia is fully aware of the importance of performance
as it relates to our RIA strategy. I obviously can't get into
specifics, but I will say that performance is a big priority at
Macromedia.
