Would be interesting to see Meteor stats there too

I've only tested Meteor briefly, but there is a pretty large initial download by default[1]. However, there are solutions using community libraries for pre-rendering and also hosting static assets to a CDN.

  The issue in the forum thread you're linking to was not caused by Meteor but by the OP canceling a deploy halfway through the process: https://forums.meteor.com/t/first-visit-loads-are-ridiculously-slow/3028/14?u=rahul https://forums.meteor.com/t/first-visit-loads-are-ridiculous...

How about Sencha Touch? I'm guessing it's a beast.

  Sencha Touch is pretty fast. When I was doing to Cordova development it was still the fastest js framework when it comes to UI responsiveness. Does it makes sense when it comes to developing mobile websites ? I don't know. I think sticky headers , footers , transitions and stuff like that make very little sense for a website. What kind of mobile website would you develop with a mobile UI framework ?

    Maybe logging in to the admin side of one of my applications to check analytics, approve new memberships, and the like? I shouldn't need to package and distribute that as an app, but some of the mobile-friendly widgets are handy.

  Kendo UI Mobile Gzipped: 136kB (not including jQuery). It is now called "Kendo UI Mobile" and owned by Telerik. Heavy base library, so custom build only saved about 5% for us. Good response rate to support issues, although sometimes valid issues are not fixed so we require custom workarounds to basic problems. Great for POC, or pilot. Not so great for consumer apps using WebView IMHO.

I'd like to see Meteor comparisons as well. I used to develop with Meteor heavily but I was frustrated by the very poor performance on mobile. The intense javascript would sometimes even lock up browsers on older devices.
