(this applies to the php version only) I've just committed the start of a refactored gadget renderer, it's about 25% faster then the old one, does a bit more, and is a lot more suitable now for adding proxied content, data pipelining, a new sanatizer and a better content rewriter.
However what's in the trunk now isn't finished yet (it'll be a number of weeks before it is), and some bits are known to be missing; So please consider using the stable 1.0.x release branch at: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shindig/branches/1.0.x-incubating/instead of the trunk. If your willing to contribute to either testing and finishing the basic gadget rendering, or work on adding any of the 0.9 features (see the overview at http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Category:Approved_%28v0.9%29 and the matching issues file in shindig's JIRA), please let us know on the mailing list. -- Chris
