To add my two cents here too, for our large GWT app we found out that IE especially was getting slow because we had a lot of equalsIgnoreCase () method called in our controllers that checked for property changes of the model objects. Changing this to equals() already helped a bit, and using maps instead was getting the performance back to what it was in the other browsers.
