More info on ActionScript Optimizations in Beta Player There have a been a couple of questions about what parts of ActionScript have been optimized in the new player. I talked to the Flash Player team and they passed the following info to me: Movies which make lots of function calls (something recursive, such as a QuickSort algorithm on an array of 10,000 items) will be faster (provided they don't access the arguments array). If anyone gets some benchmarks together, make sure to post a  link to them in the comments. 4:50:23 PM    comment []  Google It!

Flash Player Beta Performance Benchmarks Claus Wahlers has put up some performance benchmarks on string manipulation in the new Flash Player 6 beta. The benchmarks show significant performance increases in string manipulations. You can view the benchmarks here. You can find more info on the Flash Player beta here. FYI : there have been some reports on FlashCoders of overall ActionScript performance increases of 10%. 12:53:47 PM    comment []  Google It!
