This example is a live code that demonstrates the FastContainer pattern described in our article “GWT: improving performance”. The goal of the example is to research setInnerHtml phenomenon more detailed and to see concrete results in milliseconds. Besides that I am going to consider a few important aspects of the real implementation of FastContainer pattern. You can see working example at http://www.stravati.com/examples/fastcontainer and download its source code from http://www.stravati.com/examples/sources/fast-container-demo-src.zip.
