How much faster is requireJS actually, on a large website?
Has anyone done any tests on the speed of large websites that use asynchronous loading vs not?
For instance, using Backbone with a lot of views (> 100), is it better to simply have a views object that gets loaded with all the views at once and is then always available, or should they all be loaded asynchronously as needed?
Also, are there any differences for these considerations for mobile vs desktop? I've heard that you want to limit the number of requests on mobile instead of the size.
