tacos: dojo file size

[Inge Solvoll <in...@gmail.com>]

This isn't really a Tapestry problem, but I ask it here anyway.

I would really like to use all the features of tacos, and as far as I can
see, I have to include the full dojo js package to use tacos. I have tried
to download dojo and use it on my pages, and I notice a slowdown on page
load that isn't acceptable. I guess this is caused by the file size of
dojo.js, or because of the browser spending some time initializing dojo.

Is there an absolute minimum of dojo code that can be included to make tacos
work?

Thanks!

I agree, the delay I'm experiencing could be caused by parsing of widget
tags. I'm using a dojo package downloaded from the dojo website. I didn't
realize that there was a dojo file in the tacos demo app, I see now that
that dojo file is about 170k, I think the one I'm using is 300k or more.
170k is still a bit large, but I thought the browser was supposed to cache
all .js files after the first load?

My experience is that the page loads slowly all the time, not only the first
time. I guess that indicates that the widget parsing/initialization is the
issue here.

Performance issues could also be caused by the dojo semantics of parsing
pages for "widget" tags. This can be turned off, but I'm afraid the current
incarnation of tacos isn't guaranteed to work in this scenerio.

It is something I plan on addressing directly in the coming weeks with
tap4.1 / tacos4.1, but I can't say when it will be done enough for anyone to
attempt using.

Are you using the dojo.js package provided in the tacos download, or one
that you've gotten on your own?
