Small applications requiring little interaction can still benefit from
the look and functionality that Flex provides, but as Sam points out,
they are going to be significantly larger than their Flash or HTML
equivalents. Medium to large applications, however, which are more
interactive, start to benefit very quickly from a bandwidth perspective
from the Flex application model. It's not unusual for pages on sites
like Amazon or eBay to be anywhere from 60K to 90K in size, not
counting external assets like images, style sheets, scripts, etc. It
only takes one or two clicks before you are actually saving significant
amounts of bandwidth with Flex.
