In Flickr's early days, one of their major selling points was Flash based IM discussion around photos. I think it was cut due to lack of user interest, I believe. Everything old is new.

I am the engineering manager for Chandler Server, which is also a highly AJAXed webapp, and we see similar perf characteristics. Of course, we are also pretty sure that we can make our app go faster, but I do think that we are all pushing the browser pretty hard Neil,

Re: pokiness - agreed, but I wouldn't say that's an inherent limitation of the technologies we're using. The app is certainly usable as is but we're doing some really inefficient things on both the browser and server sides. We're more focused on stability and scalability at the moment, but you should start seeing better performance soon as well. We're very interested in hearing how people would like to use photophlow, and if there are features we can add to make it more suitable for things like tutorials and critiques please let us know.
