We've made a number of substantial performance gains for the upcoming
4.9 release, particularly for HTML5 apps. I just did a test with the
calendar app and saw a dramatic improvement in startup time for trunk -
20% off the top for JS startup speed, and 46% fewer DOM elements:
4.8.x:
http://localhost:8080/4.8/demos/calendar/calendar.lzx?lzr=dhtml&lzt=html&lzusemastersprite=true
Profile (1324.483ms, 112403 calls)
YSlow: Grade E on Reduce the number of DOM elements
There are 1753 DOM elements on the page
Trunk/4.9:
http://localhost:8080/trunk2/demos/calendar/calendar.lzx?lzr=dhtml&lzt=html&lzusemastersprite=true
