Performance impact of Focus panel with no handlers?

[darkflame]

I made a game engine that used a lot of focus panels on an absolute panel. - essentially everything on the panel is within a focus panel in case in needs pointer interaction. The absolute panel they are on is bigger then the screen and can move.

umm...was this me being an idiot?

If theres a hundred focus panels with no handlers attached, is that going to be significantly impact on performance?  I could ensure only things that potentially have actions get put into focus panels, but not sure if the development changes will be worth the performance boast.

Any insights?

Generally I think they won't really cost you more performance than using a normal panel. FocusPanel just adds a bunch of (delegate) methods you can call and thats it. If your code never calls them then they are likely to be removed by the GWT compiler anyways.

Ah, thanks. Good to know.
What about all those little hidden <input tags, also negligible?

Try it! You might even feel ambivalent about it :)

Hm yeah well that carries some overhead if you don't need access key support for your focus panels. But if you need access key support then it is kind of a requirement in most browsers as you normally can not assign an access key to a div element.

In HTML5 the accesskey property is allowed on any element not just a, button, various inputs. But I don't know how well browsers already support that. But in the future that input hack might go away for HTML5 compliant browsers.

Thanks for the info.
I removed them it was pointless having them as I don't need access keys for those elements. I think I got a slight performance boast, but I changed a few things at once so hard to tell definitively.
Still, similar page is probably always good.
