I recently did a JQM layout twice.

First time, I only used the JQM CSS by adding all JQM enhancements manually.

For example, instead of:

far away
47

I write:

far away
47

Although the file size was huge (> 500kb) and included tons of iframes etc, it loaded superfast on all devices I tried, even Blackberry.

Now I'm doing a full JQM version and although file size is (<100kb) it really is slow.

So my feature request would be a Jquery Mobile Light version, which brings all functioanlity but zero HTML enhancements. These should be done DIY = by the programmer.

There have been a lot of issues and questions regarding the performance. I guess using scripting for HTML enhancement is more or less eating up precious resources.
