But we still need some progress on the speeds of surface rendering. Surfaces with lots of elements can render up to about 25 times slower than the equivalent Java does. The trick at the moment is to produce such surfaces are lower resolution than one normally would. I suppose in truth that the speed of the graphics components of tablets will erode some of that factor of 25, but I doubt it will suffice. I dont know if the eventual widespread support for WebGL on tablets might be what we are basing our hopes on? And to be fair, if you replace all old applet incarnations with the newly signed one from Bob, Java continues to work just fine even with the most recent update! This is what we did with instances of Java on the RSC and ACS journals sites, and they are now working just fine!
