hey, just so it's clear:

"You’re spot-on about this test only measuring AS3 performance versus that of JavaScript, hence the title of the series. I’m deliberately not testing anything related to graphics, sound, input, etc. in these tests."computational tests aren't really good for comparing two technologies that are largely used for rendering. it's interesting if javascript can calculate Math.pow() faster than actionscript, but this isn't really the benchmark being compared here, when comparing flash vs. js/html5.
quartz and gdi both may have different computational times for calculating a bezier curve, but what you're *really* interested in is how fast it can blit that curve to the screen.
anyway, these arguments aren't really relevant. if you're competant to get your game or whatever to run at a decent framerate using your preferred technology, that's all that should matter. but that's my opinion, and i'm sure someone will disagree..
