Hi,

Suppose that we have well coded pure Ext and Ext AIR version of the same application. Can we say that Ext AIR version renders the page components and reacts to user clicks faster considering that no data transfer occurs between the appliction and the server when user clicks the controls on the app?

Thanks.

Well that is really up to you. Air is just a packed up web browser with a gears equivalent already available, so how you use it is up to you. If you make use of the local database stuff then it stands to reason there could be a performance benefit in the ui.

the performance are practically the same as running an ext application with safari, because air uses the webkit engine
