i am under the impression that the string performance increases are avm2 only.

In general, swf7 content should be the same or faster in FP8/9 than in FP7. AVM2 is completely separate from AVM1, but some aspects are shared. For example the incremental garbage collector, which was introduced in FP8. It's *possible* that certain apps on certain systems might appear to run slower, because of how they consume memory and how that affects the GC, but this would apply to FP8 as well as 9. Strings are stored and managed differently in AVM2, and I'm not sure if that code change is shared with AVM1. This is supposedly an overall performance improvement, vastly reducing memory usage when you do a lot of string concatenation, but might be slightly slower in a few cases. When people discuss performance, they are usually talking about rendering. As far as I am aware, this has hardly changed, with the exception of new (optional) features, such as bitmap caching.
