Erhm. One person? No. One company maybe, but we've got more people working with it on two different projects (and counting...).
I disagree with anyone saying that Wicket 1.0 is less usable than e.g. Struts. There are a lot of issues with that kind of frameworks that Wicket solves right now. Especially when interfaces get more complex, the MVC2 frameworks will give you a mess. I am serious that I don't want to see such frameworks used ever again for new projects that I am responsible for. Might be others like Echo or maybe even JSF.
I am also very curious about what performance problems you have. I have said this before, but I am positive that performance will generally be better CPU-wise than (complex) applications developed in MVC2 frameworks. With those frameworks, in general much more has to be done to build the whole page. Certainly for applications that link actions toghether, populate all kinds of forms - even if they're not needed - etc.

Err, sorry to interject but I also feel that we don't do enough large-scale development on Wicket. Eelco, I understand you have been using Wicket for your project but that is one person doing one project and over the past few months we've run into a lot of issues that make it clear that Wicket is not yet ready for use in production machines. There was and still is some pretty basic functionality missing from the framework and most recently performance has become a more noticable factor. I think that one cannot say that Wicket is ready for use in production machines until after a handful of companies with big websites use it.
As Jon pointed out, that will likely be Wicket 1.1, not 1.0. Even when the latter goes final I don't think it'll have decent performance for use in corporate websites. Just my 2 cents.
