VCASMO - High-Performance javascript: Why Everything You?ve Been Taught is Wrong

In sum, Joseph argues for a four-point approach to achieving maximum performance in your web-app: Be lazy: Don’t load or do things before you need to; maybe you won’t need to load or do them at all.Be responsive: Make things happen quickly. If you can shave 100ms off of an interaction by responding to a mousedown event instead of a click event, do it.Be pragmatic: Frontend engineering is hard enough. Don’t make it harder than it needs to be.Be vigilant: Blank web pages are fast. Web pages become slow because you put stuff in them; slowness is your resonsibility. Vigilance is required to prevent slowness. http://ping.fm/ERZq4 http://ping.fm/zUVD0
