It depends, but UIComponent doesn't care about clipping, scrollbars, etc.

Any idea of how much performance gain this could be?

Does anyone know if this would be better or worse for the overall performance of a Flex app? So if you did not need layout features of the framework, would it be better to add everything as raw children?
