[Laszlo-dev] Need your thoughts on [#LPP-8351] SWF9: improvement destroy-time for sprite - OpenLaszlo Jira

[P T Withington]

André has a suggestion that speeds up destroy in swf9.  I made a  
comment that this might be a good platform-wide optimization, but it  
would change the contract of LzSprite/destroy.  What are your thoughts?
