I did some more testing of the view creation app (instantiating 10,000 empty views), and tried declaring all of the base LFC classes (LzNode, LzView, LzEvent, lzDelegate) as dynamic, and it did not actually seem to make any significant slowdown in the speed. The creation speed averages about 100 usecs for an empty view in either case.
So whatever was causing the factor of two slowness in the tests a couple weeks ago was some other bug. The 100 usec speed is with the flex debug flag off, with debugging on it was about 120 usecs. For comparison, the creation speed in swf8 seems to be about 330 usecs for the same empty view. -- Henry Minsky Software Architect [EMAIL PROTECTED]
