Well, I mean, there are many reasons why you are mistaken.
- The loading time of the AIR environment on your system is slow.
- Browser browsing is usually optimized; different parts are loaded independently
- AIR can do different things slow [write to disk, etc.]
- Rendering in AIR can be more complex, hence slower
It is very difficult to make such a judgment, because, like everything, it depends on how well the implementation is written.
Obviously, though, if it slows down for you, it just slows down. Go with what you want.
I'm not quite sure what your question is.
