Later builds of FP9 and FP10 support crossdomain caching. The framework is specially signed and loaded into a special cache and used for all domains. Normally RSLs are per-domain.
Flex is a framework. Most frameworks focus on making development easier by letting the developer set a flag and get different behavior. By definition, that means there is a lot of code there just in case you need it, so that means that you'll always be able to write a smaller app by doing it yourself and not carrying any "just-in-case" code you know you don't need. FWIW, because some members of my extended family and friends are still on dialup, I still publish content they will be looking at w/o using Flex. Takes a bit longer, but it is pretty simple content and size and compatibility with older players is more important.

SWF file sizes are too big... Flex is more interactive? This must be a misunderstanding. Flex is really more about enterprise development process, less about technology. And it is not concerned about size, just features. Your 500k Flex widget is 20k in Flash probably. Ralf.
