What is the result format of the HTTPService call? The default "object" causes the flex client to process the incoming data into a tree of dynamic objects. The speed of this process would be subject to the local cpu. You could set resultFormat to e4x, and re-run the benchmarks.

I have traced an execution to the point that for a low end box it takes about 5 sec. between a send command and an HTTPService callback function call. I have timed my server and it does not take time at all. I timed the server for both my development computer and a low level box. Server time is exactly the same. (what else whould one expect?) But time it tales for an execution to get into a callback function is very different. So, I am assuming that it takes some time for a low end box to send a data request to the server. --- In flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com, "Tracy Spratt" <tr...@...> wrote: > > I would not expect the quality of the client to significantly affect the > speed of the data service call. > > > > However, a slow computer *will* have issues with rendering the content. > Have you determined definitively that the speed issue is with the data > service call and not the rendering? > > > > Tracy Spratt, > > Lariat Services, development services available > > _____ > > From: flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com] On > Behalf Of markgoldin_2000 > Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 7:06 PM > To: flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] HTTPService mistery > > > > > > > > > Is it possible that on low end computers HTTPService.send command would take > up to 10 or more times longer than on a more or less decent computer?
