Poor Performance; Site Repackaged Into Air App

Hi, guys. I'm hoping someone has encountered this problem before and knows something about it.

I have a site that is mostly bare bones HTML, and it uses JS to fetch an RSS feed and create page elements. The RSS feed is pretty big for a feed -- about 3MB. The site displays a loading animation until it's ready. On the web, it works fine.

Recently I've been working to package this site as an Air app. I got it functional with just a few minor changes, like replacing ajax with URLLoader. But my problem is it's incredibly sluggish. Even scrolling takes several seconds. For now, I'm presuming it's a memory issue. Maybe Air has a limit on its working memory, and the feed is too much? That's just an educated guess.

If anyone can help shed some light on this issue, I'd be very grateful.

Hi Jeff,

If you could post some sample code that will help illustrate the problem I'd be happy to take a look.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi, Chris. Thanks for offering to take a look.

Here's an example page that I'm trying to package into an Air app: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/vcsource-learn/

Also, just to clarify, the issue isn't while the feed is loading. The issue occurs after the feed has loaded. Within the Air app, the site becomes borderline unresponsive. Yet the same site, same code, run through a regular browser works just fine.
