Thanks for the advice and pointers into the code.
Would you say this is still a fair assessment of the tasks that have to

so you can pair with that person.
Then there are technical questions too, for example whether the

- speed. The new VM is a lot faster than the old one and has a
JITer. I know that this has a go at all non-constructor methods as
classes are loaded and can be very fast. AS3 is now running things
like the Papervision3D library which is pretty CPU intensive,
though I admit making
