I would also consider scalability: If the number of items is growing at 900 per day, eventually you'll have billions of items to convert between AS and C++ and that might become the bottleneck. You still haven't answered how you are able to run this loop without hitting the script timeout, but you may want to build in some progress indicators for the user now, and I think that can be a bit tricky when communicating with ANEs and FlasCC. -Alex
