Ongoing alpha improvements
Ongoing alpha improvements: There's a startling tidbit about Player 8.5 performance in Mark Anders' blog here. Right now there's an alpha 8.5 Player up on Labs, but some isolated benchmarks on internal builds show continued improvement beyond that. One task went from 3.52 seconds in the 7.0 Player to 0.95 seconds in the public alpha 8.5, and is now at 0.59 seconds in internal builds... another long data-rendering task took 15.90 seconds in Flash Player 7, 3.06 seconds in the public alpha 8.5, and is currently 1.25 seconds in internal builds. It's hard to generalize from any single benchmark to overall performance, and things can still change before any final public release, but this seems a good indicator for how fast the new logic will really be.
