I've been reading up on both GAE and GWT, and it seems that if you are deploying GWT apps to GAE then the following APIs are unnecessary:
- PageSpeed
- Channel API
Since GWT is already super-optimizing all client-side code, and includes all the necessary AJAX mechanisms to produce a "single page web app", then it seems to me that both of these can be ignored when deploying a GWT app to GAE.
My understanding of both these APIs is that PageSpeed helps optimize client-side code (GWT already does this), and that the Channel API is utilized for long-polling (which GWT obsolesces).
If I am incorrect, please help me understand why. Or, help illustrate scenarios where a GWT app would still benefit from these APIs. Thanks in advance!
