data entry speed is one of the prime advantages of green screen apps. web apps don't really excel at this due to their emphasis on mouse-based input.
i'd focus on building in lots of key-based redundancy for common tasks such as tabbing between fields, etc. also, web forms can reduce many green screen menus, which can speed certain tasks and eliminate others. another challenge you'll have is the fact that green screen apps are 'single-tasking' - they assume control over the entire environment whereas web apps run insider a browser with limited control over state on an OS that can have multiple windows open. you'll have devise some interesting ways of keeping the user's focus on the task while still allowing them to maintain efficiency.
