see, this is what happens when you complain of AS2.0.

You get C++ and Java's hunchbacked child.

Probably worth profiling first, seeing if you can find anything sexy. : )

I've done my share of profiling, though it'd be easier if some pro developer just volunteered to get a proper version of Flex to do it. Atm the biggest improvable cost is allocations, as far as I can tell, hence all the pooling in the first place. Sexy optimizations are now largely gone, though i keep finding huge problems nonetheless.

Wow, that GC misfeature is Seriously Weak Sauce.

call new LocalConnection twice and it forces a garbage collection

I don't want to force a GC. I want the GC to C the G properly!

The whole point of mark/sweep is not to miss anything. But according to the link ishlilith posted (http://www.andymoore.ca/2010/03/motherfucking-as3-garbage-collection/) it sometimes will. That's crazy. I am not pleased.
