A smallish non-trivial app with maybe 30-40 client side classes should come in maybe 150K. An app with maybe 200/300+ classes should come in around maybe 400K. The latter being in range of a serious business web application UI. I think people have mentioned js file sizes of around 800K - 1MB on the group for big enterprise applications. Make sure your GWT compiler setting is -OBFUSCATE if you haven't done so - this makes a huge difference. Otherwise you may have written something strange to produce this js file of 500Kb. The other thing to remember is that these js files are usually cached by the browser and subsequently checked for updates, so people using the app every day from the same workstation don't wait for this download. If the app is big, it is usually building the UI HTML (i.e. running the javascript) that takes the time, therefore phasing construction, generating parts in reasonable chunks on demand, can make a much bigger difference. regards gregor > What will happen when I finish developing my product?
