CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - (Business Wire)Curl®, Inc. today announced the results from a recent performance benchmark test of the Curl Rich Internet Application (RIA) platform, Version 6.0, and Adobe Flex 3. The test aimed to compare the performance of these two RIA platforms and found the Curl language to outperform ActionScript 3, the programming language of the Adobe Flash Player runtime, by a factor of 8 to 10. This finding is particularly significant for developers seeking highly productive ways to build mission-critical, enterprise-class RIAs that require high performance capabilities.
The benchmark test, conducted by Curl engineers, comprised of implementing a JPEG encoding algorithm. This is an ideal test case for performance since JPEG encoding is a useful and common computational task. The engineers first translated an existing ActionScript program for JPEG encoding to Curl and compared the resulting performance for three images ranging from small to moderately large.

Meh.
I've *never* generated a JPG with Flex3. I have generated it with AIR, however, and switched over to generating pngs because it was much quicker.
But congrats to them on being faster at something that nobody cares about.
gee... the Curl site could do with some short video demo's of what their product can do...
was all over the demo, product sheets ... I gave it 2 minutes to impress me and get me interested. no luck.
a couple of simple captivate / camtasia presentations would have been a big help. Oh well, their loss.
