My product design application which uses about 300 widgets made
up of some 1000 HTML elements in a 12-pane UI (all of which are
collapsable) takes about two seconds to load from XML on the host.

Have you tried it on an iPad or Android tablet? I seem to recall reading that iPad sales have eclipsed PC sales. The iPad is the hottest topic in our market (K-12) schools. My former business partner based his product on Adobe Flash in order to get the richest UI experience possible and he is really in a fix now because it won't run on the iPad, and won't run well on Android tablets either.

I gather that your widgets are loaded from XML, and you say that part is quick. But how much JavaScript do you download initially?
