First: since I can't get any more detail about exactly what is meant
by "too slow", is there any easy way to access the site as if I were
in Asia, realizing of course that there will be extra latency for the
extra trip across the Pacific?
If the unacceptable performance is due to high-latency communication
with the Rails site and not due to the initial loading of the Flash
(which could be helped by hosting it on Amazon's S3 servers in Asia),
what, if anything, can be done about that?
To "test" the performance -- You can get a Windows VPS hosted in China
and connect to it to it using Windows Remote Desktop (even if you're on
a Mac). Then you can play the game through the VPS and test it that way.
You should definitely consider hosting the Rails app in Amazon EC2
Singapore if latency is an important issue for you.
