The client is thin though, and it doesn't really matter. If you are using LCDS/BlazeDS you really lighten the processing load. The above is with ~100 servers clustered/load-balanced across two data centers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24743174.post-50948164920928247792008-11-10T22:03:00.000+00:002008-11-10T22:03:00.000+00:00Keep up the good work.Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24743174.post-28210732964030118832008-10-13T16:57:00.000+01:002008-10-13T16:57:00.000+01:00ActionScript's XML object is "dynamic" whereas Arr...ActionScript's XML object is "dynamic" whereas ArrayCollection is "sealed" so an ArrayCollection is always going to be "faster" than an XML object.Graeme Harkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727861488924753301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24743174.post-87603283757223448492008-10-13T15:28:00.000+01:002008-10-13T15:28:00.000+01:00Thank You for the reply,I am using C# in my servic...Thank You for the reply,<BR/><BR/>I am using C# in my service layer and passing XML from there.

If your service layer's written in an interpreted language (such as PHP) then your charts are going to seem much slower than if the service layer's implemented in a compiled language (such as Java or C#).Graeme Harkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727861488924753301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24743174.post-41940620121371734372008-10-13T06:21:00.000+01:002008-10-13T06:21:00.000+01:00Hi I have a question,I am using some charting cont...Hi I have a question,<BR/><BR/>I am using some charting controls in my Flex application, to plot the graphs I am using XML as Data Provider.

The most typical issue of concern is the backend as one might imagine. The end-users machine specs (which vary considerably) are also a major factor.
