Hi,
I am currently working with connecting to remote API's. I
have come across a snag as WebServices tend to be slow with large
result sets. I did a little research on it and came across this:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/server_perf_print.htmlThis states a general reason as to why it's slow, however
there's one thing I don't quite get.
Why would HTTPServices be faster then a WebService call?
They both seem to be using HTTP as stated here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/whitepapers/pdfs/flex2wp_fdscapacityplanning.pdfIs there any more detail as to why the HTTPService would be
faster? I've looked for possible differences but havn't found
anything of great depth. I thought it could be related to the way
they are returning the data, however the default return of both is
XML parsed as a tree of ActionScript objects. Anyone have an idea
as to why it would slower?
