Hi, I have made some benchmarks compiling the same project with SDK 4.1 and SDK 4.9 using IDEA (12.0.3).
As you may know, IDEA has a super-fast built-in flex compiler, but unfortunately, it is not (yet?) compatible with SDK 4.9, so IDEA switches back to compc/mxmlc when SDK 4.9 is selected. I have filed a ticket on IDEA bug base to ask about that: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-100559 In short, compilation time is 2.5 slower with SDK 4.9 with mxmlc/compc than with SDK 4.x with built-in shell. I know this is not related to SDK 4.9, but mxmlc/compc that is slower than IDEA's built-in compiler shell. However, do you have any idea why IDEA cannot use its built-in shell with SDK 4.9? Is it just because it has not been tested yet, or is there a more fundamental reason? Regards Maurice
