Hello!

Do you have any plans to use Web Workers (http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webworkers.asp) in RAP? Can this feature speedup RAP performance?
Whether you plan to use Web Sockets in the foreseeable future?

Best regards,
Yury.

I don't think that WebWorkers can improve RAP performance much (or at
all) - all of the application logic is done on the server, and the
client performance is depending mostly on parsing JavaScript (at
startup) and DOM manipulation.

WebSockets could be used in RAP as the underlying technology for
ServerPush[1], but currently there isn't any reason to to change the
existing implementation (as it works on all browser, not just those with
WebSockets).

Greetings,
Tim
