I don't know what the magic ratio is there - I have some signals that fire hundreds of times during my app and others that might only fire once, but dispatch seems like the more important optimisation to me.
I guess the saving really emerges when you have a signal with multiple handlers that is dispatching frequently... I don't have that scenario at the moment but if you were using a centralised EnterFrameSignal then you'd really be in that zone.

Really interresting thread...
Stray what is your blog address please?
I'll check the link thx...
As for myself I live in nz, so it's the same here: there is a lot of sheep per inhabitants ;)
When do you stop optimizing?
How fast is fast enough?
How much RAM is too much?
Optimization is fun but if it starts to restrict you, you'd better
know what your goal is, and measure your progress toward it.

I love this discussion. What I'll add is that with optimization, I
sometimes stop to ask:
