WPF, WPF/E, DHTML, Flex performance test
February 27th, 2007 by ryanstewart
I saw this as I was going through news and thought it was worthy of a bump. Over on Metalink, Alexey ran a test on a bunch of RIA technologies to find out performance. I’m not sure how meaningful the results are, but as these technologies come together, more tests like these will be good for everyone.

Hi Ryan.
The Metalink site seems to be down. Do you know who to nudge there?

I wonder if anyone would believe these results if they were presented ten years ago. Where are the flying cars?

Hey Indy, it’s up for me. Are you still not seeing it?

Thanks Ryan.
It is working now. I’ve tried a couple of times in the past hour but the site was inaccessible. First the webserver connected, but nothing was being returned. Then I was getting a server error.
Cheers

Hey Ryan, thanks for the bump. I’m not sure how meaningful results are either, but I agree that performance metrics is something RIA scene has been lacking (mostly due to the lack of performance) and once we start measuring it, it could stimulate frameworks developers (ie Adobe, Microsoft) to pay more attention to the issue.

Well, Adobe and Microsoft is totally aware of the performance, and Adobe have about reached the flashplayers limit with version 9, avm2 and the “just in time” compiler. The problem for RIA’s in general is the big mix between accessibility, usability, browsers, OS, API’s, and alot of other 010010 stuff i dont know about (check out kaourantin.net).
There are however alot of performace to gain through how developers generally build rich websites and webapplications. It pains me to see everytime someone doesnt even take his time to bump up the fps from 12 in Flash. There is a ton of pitfalls in AS 3.0 and Flex aswell that can and will ruin your application if you dont pay attention to details. There is already too many unnecessary heavy Flexapplications.

Ryan, do you have a link for that posting?

Aaaah, found it - it was hidden in “ran a test”. (hmmmm non-underlined links?)

David, sorry about that. My blog is doing wonky things in IE. Has it always looked like that? I just noticed it yesterday.
