Hi,

while developing our web application, I noticed some discrepancies
between the behavior of the hosted mode and the Internet Explorer 7 on
Windows Vista Ultimate (using GWT 1.7.1).

In general, the hosted mode is slower than the web mode; ok. So be it.

_But_ there is at least one scenario that I do not understand, maybe
you can shed some light on this:

I have a large tree structure, which consists of a root node and 4000
children of this root. I query the children on the server side and
return the children as an array of serializable XTreeNode-Objects
(nothing too fancy, a name, an ArrayList of children, and a refrence
to the parent XTreeNode).
In hosted mode, serializing these elements on the server and de-
serializing them on the client takes ~2 minutes. In Web Mode (be it in
FF or IE), it takes virtually no time at all.
Why is that?

Incidentally, the exact opposite happens for a reason that I don't
understand yet (and thus can't describe it): When checking for a list
of selected elements in the tree (programmatically on the client
side), it works fast in hosted mode, while it kills the browser in web
mode, taking ages to complete. [I'm just mentioning this to tell you,
that I'm really curious about the principal differences between Web
Mode and Hosted Mode -- I am well aware that this vague description
doesn't suffice as a problem description; I am yet on it ;)]

Thanks for any insights (or pointers to articles/books)!
Philipp
