Thanks for the suggestion.

I think this will improve performance a lot. My host doesn't have any Apache modules for gzipping, so I had to use a trick. I'm sending all JS requests to a PHP file that does the gzipping. It's a bit cumbersome and doesn't yet support all types of files, but I'm now down to about 800KB, so that's already a huge size reduction.

Test the page using yslow. It will give you a slew of recommendations on how to optimize your site.
For one I see that you aren't gzipping the files

I don't have the most expensive (and fast) host, but I think the culprit for the slow download might be the large download size. For some reason, the entire SmartClient is downloaded, so the first time you load the page, it's about a 3MB download, which is a lot for such a small application.
I'm not sure SmartClient and SmartGWT have a solution for this problem, which sort of makes the library a lot less interesting for smallscale application development and deployment. My investigation is ongoing, so I'll keep you updated.
