Not exactly, because Flash doesn't use AJAX. But if the question is, does a Flash client fetch data more quickly than AJAX, the answer is generally "yes". Flash clients generally use AMF to fetch data rather than JSON or XML over HTTP, and AMF is measurably faster. But honestly, that isn't necessarily going to matter all that much for many apps. Flash clients also generally deal better with large datasets than AJAX applications. Again, though, this might not matter for many apps.
