And that advantage cannot be discounted for. Almost at 60KB, nothing else comes close to the size of the Prototype stack in a typical, reasonably designed web application if it's not primarily serving the heavy media types. Sure it's cached and all, but a small website relies primarily on new users to find the site and that 60KB may be enough of a turn off because of general lack of responsiveness. Using a CDN for loading heavy elements is free from web site's perspective and it can be done with Tapestry, but it just makes it needlessly difficult to do so.
