Strange… no implementer has reported any performance problems on phones? Phones have been the primary target platform for widgets and we worked pretty closely with around 10 OEMs or software vendors and this never came up. I've personally tested around 5 different runtimes (from WAC) and have never noticed any performance issue at boot (no real difference then starting a native app or anything I could perceive). Maybe I'm missing something? Kind regards, Marcos -- Marcos Caceres
