Daniel, did you have a look at Erik's demo? http://people.apache.org/~erikdebruin/vanillasdk/ It is not a performance demo, but what you can see is that, from the same AS sources, the compiler produces a debuggable version ("intermediate JS version") and a minified version ("release JS version") which packs the whole application into merely 11.5 kb. While this is only a small demo application, it shows that there is no bloat or large overhead. So the solution to first create debuggable code, then minify for production, seems to work well. We'll do performance tests later, when we have a larger example working. Greetings -Frank-
