I had the same issue... We use the ajax tabbed panel but no other dojo widgets, but the <s:head theme="ajax"> tag had dojo "requiring" all of the dojo widget library.
This was causing our page to fire off 70+ requests when loading. As our app needs to be accessed up to a thousand km away, tests showed initial load times of over 10s because of latency. I modified web\template\ajax\head.ftl to include a custom web\hack\ajax\dojoRequire.js that had the minimum dojo includes for the tabbed panels. This managed to get the number of requests down to around 30, mostly our own images and scripts, which gave acceptable load times. Eg. web\template\ajax\head.ftl: <#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/${themeProperties.parent}/head.ftl" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="<@s.url value='/hack/ajax/dojoRequire.js' includeParams='none' encode='false' />"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<@s.url value='/struts/CommonFunctions.js' includeParams='none' encode='false'/>"></script> web\hack\ajax\dojoRequire.js: dojo.require("dojo.io.BrowserIO"); dojo.require("dojo.event.topic"); dojo.hostenv.setModulePrefix('struts', 'struts'); //dojo.require('dojo.widget.*'); dojo.widget.manager.registerWidgetPackage('struts.widget'); dojo.require("struts.widget.Bind"); dojo.require("struts.widget.BindDiv"); //dojo.require("struts.widget.BindAnchor"); //dojo.require("struts.widget.ComboBox"); //dojo.require("struts.widget.StrutsTimePicker") //dojo.require("dojo.widget.Editor2"); //dojo.hostenv.writeIncludes(); // not needed, but allows the Venkman debugger to work with the includes Hope this helps, regards Jason ----- Falun Dafa Truth - Compassion - Forbearance A mind & body practice under persecution in China http://www.faluninfo.net -----Original Message----- From: Frank W.

I know from experience that Dojo, can issue a TON of requests even if you think your only loading a small portion of it. Assuming this guess is correct, Musachy, does S2 use a custom build of Dojo? If not, that might be worth considering. Frank -- Frank W.
