I've been investigating performance of the wicketstuff-scriptaculous project quite a bit recently. Scriptaculous is not what I would call a "lightweight" javascript package, but the beauty of wicket is that they automatically gzip javascript files, and can optionally minify the libraries. This *drastically* changes how much content is streamed down to the users. i've seen 120K drop to 20K automatically.
Wicket also does "the right thing" and sends down the correct browser cache headers so that user's will not be constantly re-downloading these javascript resources. This makes integrating javascript libraries extremely easy, so if there is a library out there that would be useful to wicket developers, I'd recommend starting a wicketstuff project and get going!
