Have you heard about Doloto ???

Have you heard about Doloto ??? Well Doloto is an Code Splitting system from Microsoft Research labs. As of this writing it is not available publicly yet. But if you are interested you can read a pdf about it from here.

The goal of Doloto is to reduce the initial startup time for Web 2.0 applications. Well generally most Web 2.0 applications have all the Javascript in a single file and is sent to the browser. So the user has to wait till all the file gets downloaded, before he can start interacting with the application. Dial Up users would have experienced the frustration of seeing a ‘loading…’ for a long time, Doloto’s goal is remove that frustration.

If you take a look at this link, you can see that most of the websites hardly use 20 - 30% of the Js code when the page initially renders, so by cutting this initial payload to a minimum, these sites can be loaded much faster.

The idea of Doloto is to send only the initial payload and the rest can be transferred silently in background or on demand. Well yes it is a very interesting topic, dont forget to read the 25 page pdf at the Microsoft’s research site.
