Nope, not running 50 frames a second. A timer can execute twice in one frame.
The actual problem is a trading application where the client is receiving messages from the server side. At peak loads, the client gets up to 200 messages a second, and subsequently does a bunch of processing on those quotes. As a side effect, the client generates a large amount of immutable (unreferenced) objects, and this seems to be compounding the problem in 11.2 - In 10.3, the unreferenced objects gets GC'd pretty regularly.

Is that correct? If it is, this seems a bit excessive for a Flex application unless you're doing some serious animation. Keep in mind that 1000 ms = 1 second = [ frame rate ] x [ ms slice ]... anything less / more than this will often lead to the perception that something that should be happening isn't ( e.g. a self-imposed race condition ). What I'm trying to say is that I would recommend aiming for an 'ideal' test scenario where a majority would agree that the given example should perform without issues - then proceed to extremes ( render heavy / script heavy frames ) in order to determine where failures begin to appear. Be prepared for questions like, "is it possible that the routine(s) in question weren't performing optimally before... and that FP changes no longer hide my flabby code-stuffs?" So... I would think that it would be in Adobe's best interest to share any benchmarking tools they use internally for Flash Player with this project. More eyes = more fun!
