Henry is only measuring instantiating lz.view, not user classes, yet.

It seems odd that if (1) classes are not declared as sealed, and (2)
no typing information has been added to LFC code, that we'd be
seeing the dramatic performance improvement over SWF8 that Henry has
measured.
Explanation?

I take this to mean either:
a) Their compiler is not taking advantage of sealing, yet.
b) Their compiler is very smart and realizes that although your
classes are declared dynamic, the are not extended in this
application so they can be treated as sealed.

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.
