Jack Slocum (EXT JS author) has his own performance related arguments about loading all of EXT JS in a single bound, but I'm probably in agreement with you about either lazy loading or using dependency injection (something like Squirrel IoC) to incrementally load EXT JS code as needed.

Not sure, but it sounds like we have some similar objectives.[/quote]

Probably. My goal was really only for the instance where I'm using only one or two widgets between all pages, such as tooltips and forms, and didn't want the full ext library. I also wanted to make it easier to combine files into a custom EXT package without sifting through 400 files.

This could be combined with something like Adamp1's Asset Linker to provide a single js file about 2/3rds the size of normal ext before compression, with only the features used on your pages, and will be even faster if all pages use the same version you've created. Alternatively, you could just create you're own combined file, since the packages weren't obfuscated when YUI compressed.

I've posted my build XML file if you'd like to take a look.[/quote]

Do a search on the web for PHP-EXT. You should get some hits for a project on Google. These are PHP wrappers for EXT JS. I plan to try these a bit later, but have not had the time.

From the EXT JS wiki (and possibly the EXT JS 2.0 download page), it's possible to generate a custom EXT JS library with only the features you need. This reduces the number of EXT JS dependencies and resulting file size.

Maybe the way to go, especially when you consider that EE 2.0 is to support JQuery and is written on top of CI (assuming CI 2.0).
