Render speed of Calendar component in IE7

Hi,

 

I have developed a web app where a number of pages have 3 or 4 Calendar
components. While the render speed is perfectly adequate in Firefox and
Safari, it is markedly slower in IE7. (6-7 secs versus 1-2 secs!).

 

I then created a simple page with just 4 of these components on not bound to
any data and got the same timings.

 

Hunting around, I saw that 4.2 had some performance improvements, so I made
sure I had the latest 4.2 release and retested. No noticeable improvement!

I then did some research into IE7 performance tuning. I then took all the
recommended tuning tips to improve Ie7 performance. Again there was no
noticeable difference.

 

Given that IE still accounts for 80%+ of the browser market, it is
imperative that Woodstock works efficiently with Ie7 in addition to other
browsers.

 

Are there any plans to try and get this issue resolved? Or are there any
workarounds? Alternative DatePicker controls?

 

Regards
