This is very interesting topic for me (maybe because I still fell that qooxdoo is slow). But I have another idea. Isn't it possible to experiment with <canvas> based rendering ?
I think that javascript is fast enough for internet applications so most time spent is not in JS but in DOM manipulation and rendering pages. If there will be possibility to virtually paint for example list box items then qooxdoo application will contain fewer DOM elements and browser will render pages faster (and will be faster because DOM structure will not be polluted by DIVS for nothing). Canvas rendering is ultra fast compared to X thousands of DIVs hierarchy. I'm also voting to decrease of needed DIVs in qooxdoo application, but I think that this is probably impossible :( So, personally, instead of new features I think that qooxdoo needs performance.
