I’ll be at MAX 2008 this afternoon presenting a talk on High Performance AIR Applications. I’ll hang around for a bit afterward, too, for anyone interested in a more in-depth discussion.
I’ve posted the presentation and accompanying sample code on Acrobat.com.
If there are other performance-related topics you’d like me to address in this blog, please post a comment to that effect.

merci
I read the pdf on AIR that you have linked here… It seems way out of date. Do you have anything more current? Thanks!
There’s definitely newer content available on the AIR developer center. For example, this article on optimizing for AIR mobile apps.
