Ryan, do you compile a lot of resources into the SWF file? I've been
working on Flex projects where we had a lot of resources compiled into
the app, and the compilation could take up to 3-4 minutes. Generally
the Flex compiler is much slower than the OpenLaszlo compiler for the
SWF8 runtime. I've heard of Flex projects with compile times going to
up 8 minutes.
