That article doesn't take into account the things that Tapestry does for you: - Combines prototype.js with other JS files to form a single JS file (this is done on-the-fly) - GZIp compression of the virtual asset - Far future expires header for the virtual asset - A couple of bug fixes in the Tapestry version ... and, perhaps in 5.3, on-the-fly minimization of the virtual asset. The only real advantage to fetching from Google is that the browser may fetch more of the JS files in parallel, since the fetching is across multiple hosts. > At first I wanted to do it quickly because it seemed to be a quick win - but > the more I struggled with Tapestry to do this, the more it was about just > getting it to do it :) > > There was a > http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Tapestry-Central-Tapestry-5-1-and-IE-8-Customizing-Tapestry-td2436846.html#a2436848 > thread about this topic almost a year ago - with no real solution.
