Comments on: Flash Player 10.1 Performance: Part 3 http://jacksondunstan.com/articles/753 Mastering AS3 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:30:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: jackson http://jacksondunstan.com/articles/753/comment-page-1#comment-739 jackson Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:36:20 +0000 http://jacksondunstan.com/?p=753#comment-739 Most of my performance tests are done on both Windows XP and Mac OS X to catch these sorts of cross-platform performance issues, which do occur from time to time. For this series of articles though, the sheer amount of testing required to include Mac OS X was simply too much. If any performance test is of particularly high importance to you, I'd recommend grabbing the source from the "Original Article" link and seeing what results you get on Mac OS X as you'll get the numbers much faster than I'll get around to posting them, if I ever do. The same goes for the plugin version versus the ActiveX version, though I haven't seen any strong performance differences between them when running just intensive AS3. Certainly there are differences when graphics, input, sound, networking, and so forth come into play. Have <em>you</em> noticed any differences between the plugin and ActiveX versions for pure AS3? If so, I'd be quite interested in taking a deeper look.

For example, do you get a smaller gulf in BitmapData performance in the ActiveX (IE) version vs. the Plugin version running in Firefox (on Windows)? I've noticed also that Firefox with 10.1 seems to run more quickly for about a second or so, then cuts down performance on mildly intensive applications. On my PCs (but not mac) I see that in this example (with the release player, this is insanely slow with the content debugger): http://www.unfocus.com/2010/06/29/the-bunny-video-eplodes-explodes/ I’m curious if you’ve noticed a difference in these number between platforms and browsers.
