Recently I've tried to build a signal system with my own implementation, with performance kept in mind, and here's what came out.

I've come up with an approach to handle listener adding and removal efficiently. Thought you might be interested.

I optimized Signal dispatch() by moving the listeners array clone to add() and remove(). It’s about twice as fast as before on Windows, when sending to one listener. Here's the commit:

That is brilliant.

I have been waiting for someone to do these tests (Eh! old excuse, been too busy myself ) as the first time I heard about AS3 Signals, I have been curious if it is better than the native Events performance-wise.

So, thanks a bunch for posting your results.

FYI, I have just run the same tests through the latest Flash Player 10.1 beta on Mac. The results are corroborated (in order to format the results better, I’ve put them in the main post, above!)

You beat me to it! I was going to do a post really soon on as3signals since I've been hearing about them being used more recently. Perhaps I still will…
