You might consider to upgrade to GWT 2.0 to take advantage of the guided code split feature, it might not reduce the size of you code, in fact it'll probably make the total size larger, but the user won't have to download your application all at once, so they'll enjoy a much faster start up time. Also, with GWT2.0's SYOC feature, you'll see exact what makes up of your 3.3MB, so you can work on them accordingly. Also, this might be trivial, but I thought I might also ask, are you using obfuscated mode? -- Joe -- Two things that are infinite, the universe and my stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
