Google Code Blog: Gmail for Mobile HTML5 Series: Reducing Startup Latency

Google Code Blog: Gmail for Mobile HTML5 Series: Reducing Startup Latency: "To a user, the startup latency of an HTML 5 based application is critical.

1. Network time to fetch the application (JavaScript HTML)
2. JavaScript parse time
3. Code execution time to fetch the data and render the home page of your application"
