Quick port of the Facebook AIR Desktop app to Titanium. The AIR desktop app is written in pure ActionScript and the Titanium is written in 100% open web: HTML, JavaScript, CSS.
The Titanium runs constantly at effectively 0% CPU. The AIR app runs constantly at 2-3% CPU (with spikes) and never falls below 2%. The Titanium app almost never goes above 3%.
Notice the resident private memory of 17MB (Titanium) vs. 135MB (AIR). The AIR apps seems to grow with time and Titanium stays at 17MB.
This is not yet a full port of the app but mostly a prototype of the new FB Connect API coming in Titanium Desktop. I plan on adding support for full screen video, image galleries, notifications, tray icon minimization, etc.
Please consider Titanium for your next desktop or mobile application and please spread the word.
