Dan, what exactly in this discussion made you think that we don't care about performance? I am with Alex that there is enough time for moaning and complaining about alleged performance problems when we have a real-world application cross-compiled. At the same time, I am convinced that if there is a performance bottleneck, it will be in the rendering (canvas, DOM), not in the actual application code. For example, our complex browser UI application only spends about 10% CPU time in JavaScript code. All the rest is the browser computing styles, DOM repaint / reflow, and the actual rendering. My experiments with running cross-compiled Flash games on iOS had their best performance boost with every iOS update, providing increased canvas rendering speed and JavaScript performance. -Frank-
