Doloto aims to improve performance on AJAX applications

On Friday, Somasegar announced on his blog a new DevLabs project called Doloto. Doloto aims to optimize AJAX/JavaScript web applications by allowing more intelligent loading of the .js files that contain the browser-based scripts for the application's user interface.

According to DevLabs, Doloto is "especially useful for large and complex Web 2.0 applications that contain a lot of code, such as Bing Maps, Hotmail, etc." They also show nice performance graphs, which indeed show impressive performance benefits. Of course, this project is still cooking, and results might improve. But so far, initial load times can improve in the range of 20 to 40 per cent easily, and even more.

Sounds good! I'm looking forward to the progress of this project.
