Answer would be the same as: - Is it worth writing a assembly code over C code ? - Is it worth using a raw HTTP call over a web-service call ? - Is it worth using plain text over XML for data transfer ? - Is it worth rendering a web page using JavaScript than HTML itself [even if it was faster] ? In each of these examples, latter is chosen over the former because it addresses certain principles like simplicity, ease of development/maintenance etc the former failed to address. What margin of performance would buy you out of a fundamentally true design principle, either front-end or back-end ? I would ask for atleast 50%, either memory or time. Sure, but is it worth it ?

I will make a test with web service if i got some time. Thank you. :) Sorry, i am being busy these days.

I'm curious (and don't have the time unfortunately) to know what the difference is between MXML web service components vs AS web service declarations. Very informative!
