GWT vs Volta

Ray Cromwell of Timepedia/Chronoscope has taken the Volta test app for a spin. He was less than impressed:

It made over 171 HTTP requests to load up all of its generated Javascript, over 2 megabytes of code, it took 20 seconds to startup, ran slow once it did, threw exceptions and sent me into the debugger, and when I looked at the code, I noticed that it had compatibility code for other browsers in my download, code chewing up space and network bandwidth that are useless to my Firefox instance.

Hmmm, and they were talkin all that trash about GWT?
