I did an l-system implementation in AS2 recently. In FP8 i could only do
simple systems with a couple of recursions before the player choked, and
playback was slow as well (i animated the growth with perlin noise for a
wind effect). Porting to AS3 let me quadruple the l-system complexity,
still get instantaneous results and far, far better playback speed.
Not hard numbers, i know, but pretty mindblowing for me to watch as a
developer.
AS3 doesn't wrap AS2, this is important to remember. AS2 was pretty much
AS1 with knobs on, AS3 is a new language to learn (albeit not a tough
one to learn if you're used to AS2).

Of course it will be faster only if you port the code

I posted about the 3D engine I wrote and the speed increase
I got when I converted it to AS3 a few days ago so you can
check that out as an example of just how much faster it is ;p

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3 faster ??
Hi people, they say that AS3 is 10 times faster than AS2 but what does that
really means ? Does that mean that my movies will play faster even if I have
a few dozens movieclips with graphics flying all over the screen? Or does it
just mean that my .swf will be compiling 10 times faster?
