Welcome in the HTML5 Performance Task Force

Folks,

If you're receiving this email, it means that you expressed interest in
participating in the HTML5 Performance Task Force and also that I've
been slow at launching it. If I was mistaken, please let me know and
I'll remove your name. So far, we have on the list Arvind Jain, Ganesh
Rao, Jatinder Mann, Mark Nottingham, Giridhar Mandyam, Boris Zbarsky and
Velmurugan Periasamy.

I did set up a wiki page at:
 http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML5_Performance

To start the discussion, I'm copying the questions I've been adding into
the wiki here.

Arvind, you proposed in the past to help figuring out the performance
comparison of native apps vs Web Applications. Are you still interested
in providing data on that front?

I've added a few bottlenecks that I read in a recent message. How should
we proceed in identifying the performance issues?

It might be too early to talk about solutions yet but I did propose a
few on the wiki.

Anything else we should talk about?

Is the problem real?

     * Do we have examples of slow Web applications?
     * Should we and can we compare the performance of native
       applications with Web applications?

Identifying the performance issues

     * Where are the bottlenecks?
     * Are there common patterns/usages where performance becomes
       an issue?
     * Are performance gaps similar on desktop and mobile? Are
       those gaps specific to an implementation, set of devices,
       or OS?

Thank you,
