I tested AS 4.5, it is even slower than NS, not much but a little bit
Well, then it is not the Tcl channel stuff as 4.5 still uses open/read. In that case it must be something else. I guess you need to put shortcircuit code at various places to isolate layer by layer. That is not funny work but in the case you need all the speed you can get, it is unavoidable.
