Are you working with decreasing #flex load times ?

Check out the article from deacons blog.
Its really good on explaining how usage of Runtime Shared libraries can help you out.
Every Flex application that you create uses the same class files. Some of these are your class files, some are other libraries you have included and then of course you have the files that make up the Flex framework itself. One of the constant complaints I hear about Flex apps ( and flash in general ) is that it takes too long to load. One reason for the long load times is that every Flex application needs to be sure it has all the classes it needs, so all the necessary classes get compiled into the SWF. So, even if the same classes are used in most of the applications you create you are reloading that data again with every new application that gets loaded.
