Continuing on as3-signals. Here the guy actually ran performance tests on as3-signals vs. events. And got surprisingly SHOCKING results. You won’t gonna believe — AS3-SIGNALS ARE FASTER THAN EVENTS!!!!!1 Who could have thought that, huh? OK, </sarcasm>. Just looking at the code you can tell that as3-signals being simpler will be faster. This is definitely good.
But, if you need 0(zero) or 1(one) listener for your object, use plain old callbacks and you will be shocked by performance boost!
I added this code to the guy’s test:
public var callback:Function;
public function dataCallback():void
{
for (var i:uint = 0; i < loops; i++)
this.callback(i);
}
And here are the results

Someone has too much time running tests and drawing graphs. Oh wait, it’s me. At least I haven’t drawn a graph.
P.S. Once again, as3-signals is good, opensource is good! cheers~
