This has actually happened to us before and someone on IRC was reporting it too. There doesn't seem to be an issue about this... can you post one? http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/list
The problem seems to happen because GWT emulates longs on the client side (since native JS does not have a concept of longs). In general, the emulated longs perform very poorly. The work around is to use a double instead. -- Arthur Kalmenson On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 10:18 AM, Rune V.
