Unresponsive flash apps are the number one irritation imho.
LOL, I have yet to write one and I have yet to use any techniques from
my assembler or C++ days. In most cases Flash provides more than
adequate responsiveness with very little special care.
The top of the priority list is a user experience that makes the client
happy and performance and responsiveness has yet to be a deciding issue.
The most challenging responsiveness issue I have had has been parsing
large text files for data (several megabytes in size) using AS2 while
keeping a visualisation animating smoothly and preventing script
time-outs. It was very much the rare exception.
I realise that for some people manipulating large numbers of animated
clips or sprites, performance could be an issue, but I think such
applications of flash aren't the mainstream.
