It was process but we ported everything to the low level RequestBuildner.and json. Now we have just one timer in the UI a huge reduction from the async nature of RPC.
In our situation we render everything out of a DataDictionary on the server side and use a Frame for the results, The GUI is pure GWT. Size of application rose from 182k to 1.5 meg including split points. Without profiling it is noticeably faster without RPC. I am guessing that there are less instantiations of classes on server and UI. All in all, we are ready for GWT 3.0 and look forward to the stable 2.8. Thanks for all your help!
