I think none, it would be as fast as it is now (e.g. the browser communicating directly with the engine). I would like to decouple Sage as the *engine* from the rest. The engine should handle evaluating cells and storing and retrieving the state (I guess). Then it can be used in services like Google Wave that Harald is experimenting with etc. The AJAX in the browser should be talking directly to the engine (e.g. just like it is now). Where the rest of it is running, that doesn't really matter imho and it should be possible to run it on the appengine.
