Hi Frank-

My apologies for jumping in the middle of a thread

No need to apologize, I did the same thing! LOL

-could you elaborate on what you used for a 'custom build'?

Yes... Dojo supports the ability to create a custom build, where you get a dojo.js file out that contains only the code you need. The Dojo wiki details this, but it's little more than creating a profile.js file, which tells the build process what to include, and then running an Ant script. I have to say that it took me a while to get it to work, I had various problems along the way, but it ultimately works pretty much as described in their documentation.

My custom build by the way includes the io functionality, and the menu, button, calendar, tab and floatpane widgets, plus whatever packages (fx, core, etc.) these things require.

-which webserver are you implementing?

Apache, in front of WebSphere... I'm afraid I can't go into much more detail than that as we're in a hosted environment, so I'm not in charge of the configurations.

-where you able to collect metrics for scenarios other than expire headers of 1 hour..perhaps 2 hours?

No, we debated various times but settled on one hour because that seemed a reasonable period of time to account for JS changes (our own app JS really)... we figured images weren't terribly important if something changed, we could deal with a bit of ugliness for an hour :) but JS changes would obviously break stuff.

Kudos for attaining astounding 70% performance increase!!!

Thanks :) The early days of last week were really rough, trying to figure out where we were truly losing time, but the last two days were very rewarding indeed.

Thanks,
