True regarding not being able to monkey patch the cached framework rsl. It is always loaded first.

Any Problems Related to Their Use? I think mainly you just need to be aware of the size implications (both good and bad). By using the framework RSL you are removing the framework from your SWF, which will reduce your SWF size by quite a bit. However, you are also requiring the loading of the full framework RSL. The full RSL includes all the framework classes, not just those used in your SWF, so this RSL is actually larger than the savings that you have gotten with your smaller swf. But this framework RSL can be cached and can even be cached from other people's apps. So if someone visits your app without ever having loaded the RSL (either from you or another person's app) then their initial load time will actually be longer than if you did not use the RSL. However,if they have viewed another Flex app that used the RSL, then your load time will be faster. The other thing that I've heard is that you can't monkey patch framework classes if using the RSL, since that gets loaded after your main app, the RSL framework classes take precedence.
