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!
