Thanks for the welcome, Douglas. It's nice to be here! Persistent Framework Caching, aka RSLs, actually reduce the size of your applications. And, you guessed it, there's a video and feature write-up about RSLs at http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_3:Feature_Introductions#Pers istent_Framework_Caching_.28also_known_as_framework_RSLs_or_cross- domain_RSLs.2C_Updated_for_Beta_2.29 There's a section in the article called "How to create an optimized RSL" that documents how to reduce the size of your RSL by over 50%.
