ever coded a flex app using web services? I have... the overhead in the flash player when grabbing the initial wsdl and parsing it is huge...
as for gzipping it... you might want to read this...
amf is http tunneled as base 64 encoded data...
I'm a huge advocate of web services... but not if i can use amf... amf is easily 2 to 3 times faster. (with INCREDIBLY faster load times)

So is SOAP when you turn on GZIP compression in your container. And I
would argue that binary transmission can be a bad thing too. What if
a firewall used on a corporate environment has packet filtering turned
on. Does that firewall have an AMF filter and did the firewall admin
know what it was? I spent oodles of time working in CORBA. IIOP is a
binary protocol and I cant tell you how often we bumped intot his
issue in a true distributed application. We actually used to tunnel
the IIOP through HTTP a lot to avoid this.

Not true with GZIP turned on.

So does XML web services in Flex.
