In my world, 300 milliseconds does matter. 10 sequential calls and you have 3 seconds of latency, which is definitely in the realm of something the end user would notice. Sometimes the end user is a key decision maker comparing two apps side-by-side and making a judgment call as to which one

I'm sure someone already pointed this out, but network latency is also a factor. AMF is a compressed format, so it can load faster and in that sense make your app more responsive. With XML web services, the tags themselves add a degree of overhead. There are schemes for compressing web services
