I was wondering if there was any free/cheap backend solutions for multi player flash games.

I think I could run turn-based games with amfphp and MySQL memory tables. Although… Rather inefficient with the constant calls to check for new data with the way I was thinking. 😕

Is Red5 is just designed for Streaming music and video? Does Flash Player 9/AS3 have the capabilities, and is there a server program good enough to get down to around 100ms response times for games??

Getting 1kb of data from MySQL:  
AmfPHP:  
Total time: 181 ms  
Encode time: 1 ms  
Send/receive time: 180 ms  
Decode time: 0 ms  
Network time: 159 ms

Total amfphp time: 21 ms  
Framework time: 15 ms  
Amf decode time: 0 ms  
Service include time: 0 ms  
Service call time: 5 ms  
Amf encode time: 1 ms
