Thanks for the reply Sam! So it's normal that the pages load that slowly the
first time - even though it's a local connection (i.e. no bandwidth
considerations)? We're talking 10-30 seconds.

Thanks for the pointers on coding effectively for Flex. I'll have to keep
that in mind.

Do you mean Flex pages or all pages?  Flex compilation times are very slow.
Flex is not meant to re-compile files for each request but only once when
files are first loaded.  The performance does not really allow for any
significant dynamic MXML creation, even though the JSP tags provide that
functionality.

Load time should be significantly faster the second time you request a
particular mxml page.

For real world use, you can improve performance after changes by breaking up
an MXML application into many different MXML files where you have one that
is your main application and then others that are application-specific MXML
components.  The advantage is that Flex will recompile each MXML on an
as-needed basis only.  So if you change something in one component, it will
recompile that component and the application container only and use cached
versions of the other components.

HTH,

Sam
