AS3 performance tests
AS3 performance tests: Mike Lyda runs ECMAScript tests across the JavaScript engines in Firefox and Explorer, and the ActionScript engines in recent versions of the Adobe Flash Player. These tests are on beta versions, and the hosting browser definitely changes how plugins are allotted processor cycles, but the results are encouraging. I'm not sure whether these initial dozen tests reflect the benefits of the Just-In-Time compiling in Flash Player 9, where compressed ActionScript bytecode is expanded to true machine code on the client. More in comments here. Many of the Flash-to-Flash tests do show an order-of-magnitude improvement (or more!) in logical processing.
