a simple example - i wrote an online games web site. there are four games written at the moment. backgammon, rummikub, poker and go.
rummikub has 110 images loaded onto the page. firefox takes about 5-8 seconds to add all the tokens, one-by-one with javascript (compiled from python of course). pyjamas-desktop, using webkit, takes about 2 seconds. the javascript is gone in pyjamas-desktop; it's a glib / gobject binding direct to the c++ function which adds the image to the DOM model, direct. go has a whopping 725 images to be added to the page. firefox takes an incredible _thirty_ seconds to create this page on a 1.2ghz dual- core pentium laptop. pyjamas-desktop, using webkit, takes under ten. so even something as trivial as writing a simple entertainment application is pushing the limits of acceptable user tolerances. l. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
