Improve my Flex Application Loading Time

I have an application that creates a vector image from a photo. It is completely built and finished, but loading times are not reasonable. [login to view URL] Budget: $350-$400 I need an flex expert to : 1)Test the performance application to identify problem areas and establish a baseline. 2)Use Profiler to see how much time is spent executing objects and identify bottlenecks. 3 )Improve Server Client & Server Performance (see below for details) 4)Do a Final Test to see performance Gains. Expecting 30%-40% Gains. 5)Load Test Flex Application in live server using free load testing tool like LoadRunner. Using the results and try to identify the requests that take the longest to process. The goal is to find bottlenecks and optimize any areas in your application or server. You Should be using techniques to improve Performance such as... Client: -Decrease startup time -Take advantage of deferred instantiation to improve performance -Use dynamically repeating controls for better performance -Leverage Runtime Shared Libraries (RSLs) for performance gains Server: -Modifying [login to view URL] - production mode, and optimize property. -Runtime Shared Libraries (RSL) -Efficient data delivery to the Flex client -Using the JSP tag library efficiently -Precompiling MXML pages -JVM tuning -Finding the best Flex deployment options for optimal performance
