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.
