RSLs are only really useful if you are making two or 3 different products and want to share the code between them. For a single product, they offer no discernable value.
We actually removed RSLs from our product because they were impacting run-time performance. Modules are excellent though. They don't only offer significant start up time benefits, they offer loads of additional flexibility. For example... User hasn't paid for a particular feature? Don't deliver the module. Gk.

Till date we have written a small pilot application and is accepted by almost everybody. In Second Phase of evaluation a doubt about download time is being tested and to our best judgment combining everything in a monolithic application is going to take longer startup time. To reduce this we studied Modules and RSLs. We would like hear from experienced persons about Modules and RSLs in Large applications. What do u suggest use Modules or/and RSLs ? are there any runtime issues to be taken care in development phase ? Will there be any problems in development process ? A team of 5/6 persons is going to work on this conversion project. Thanks and Best Regards Raja
