Yes we discovered that function calls were real fast in Firefox,
not so fast in IE as I recall, and
slow in Flash 6,7,8
I did some simple tests andI measured a big speedup in Flash 9
(using Adobe's compiler), like
10x to 20x over flash 7.

this isn't the most fascinating data you've seen in a long
time. The executive summary: function calls and array access are
faster in dhtml than in flash, on my particular setup.
Rather than constructing reports with copy and paste, I think I will
bastardize Henry's logger.jsp. Run tests, calculate results, post to
server via a jsp. Then in a separate step we can analyze the results.
