CNet's News.com has a short piece on the upcoming Flash 7 player. Of particular interest is this quote:

"The new version of the Flash Player, available for download from Macromedia, concentrates on performance improvements that allow the software to process some types of Flash content as much as 10 times faster, said Lucian Beebe, Macromedia's product manager for Flash."

I've been using the beta for a week or so now, and I've noticed that it does seem to run Flash Remoting apps a bit quicker, although I don't have any real comparison numbers.
