[Jmol-developers] JSmol performance (Java2Script vs. GWT)

[Geoffrey Hutchison]

Hi,

A colleague and I are working on a website with JSmol for iOS and Android use. 
We've noticed that performance isn't great on iPad 2, which is unfortunate 
because there are still a heck of a lot of them out there (esp. when you 
include the iPad mini non-retina).

I've seen anecdotal reports that GWT produces more optimized JavaScript than 
Java2Script(?!). Before we go ahead, I wanted to know if anyone else had tried 
this and/or any reasons for picking Java2Script for JSmol.

Thanks,
-Geoff

[Jmol-developers] Getting JSmol on jsDelivr CDN

[Geoffrey Hutchison]

Hi again,

I've also been looking at how to serve up JSmol to large lecture classes 
without totally swamping our server. I found jsDelivr (http://www.jsdelivr.com) 
which will put various JavaScript libraries and resources available on global 
Content Delivery Networks (CDN) for free.

Basically, there would just need to be a GitHub repository for JSmol with the 
appropriate files and then make sure it's updated with each release. The 
jsDelivr system will make versioned URLs like this:

http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js

or.. in this case:

http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/jsmol/14.2.0/jsmol.min.js

I think this would also make it really easy for users who don't have a web 
server at the ready. :-)

If this sounds interesting, I can get something (i.e., a Jmol/JSmol mirror) 
going on GitHub.

Cheers,
-Geoff
