Description

There are recommendations for AIR performance tuning. We should be be doing #2 on this list by default (with a flag to turn it off).

"When your application is in the background, set "stage.frameRate = 1;" as it will reduce CPU usage to < 1% 2.To be notified when an Adobe AIR application goes into the background: "this.addEventListener(AIREvent.APPLICATION_DEACTIVATE, appDeactivate);" Grant has put together a simple class that does this for you. "

We should also reach out to the AIR team and see what else we should be doing by default.
