_Yo!_ *That* ain't good. Which engine are you using? The java version?
Does the 17m include the download of the engine, or is it the time from
splash to first widget being drawn? And that would be using vs not using
the tree, right? Not just having it present in the xwar?

Stripping might help a bit, but the widget set is only some 500k at the
moment... the download time won't make too much of a difference (to me,
at least), and downloaded-but-unused widgets should not have any impact
on startup times or performance thereafter (right, charlieg?).

I realize Ni is pretty young, but given that the pre-Ni widget sampler
showed quite some interesting things this sounds like a major
regression problem.
