I am the author of the EventListenerManager -ELM.
I created a benchmark to measure other EventListenerManagers out there and ELM of course for comparison – however I had two versions, one using Vectors, another one using Arrays. In this benchmark using Vectors were saving some KBs of Memory but the Array was still faster. No need to cast Vector elements which I did in this test for Array elements – results might turn out different without the Array-element-casting. I prefer FP9 compatibility over not so much better FP10 only Vectors…)
You might checkout the benchmark and it’s source to play with it – http://code.google.com/p/as3listenermanager/

Array is THAT much slower than Vector because it should be casted.
var num:int = int(array[i]);

Vector is faster than Array, but not THAT much.

I did not know that about Vectors. I didn’t even know what a Vector was. Now, I will be including that in my workflow.

Thanks so much!
