I fully understand that AMF is faster than XML. I also understand that FDS offers us way more than just AMF. I also understand that FDS in general, and AMF in particular makes things much easier for developers. I just don't want to accept that XML is as slow as you make it appear to be ;) > Keep me honest Claus!
