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
