Optimizing Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Controls

Any good sources(links) about optimizing Telerik Web controls? I imagine that there are features that are turned on by default. These features require resources (javascript, css, images) to be downloaded on request. It would be nice to know what these feature are and to turn them off if not used.

Do you know of such features? I'm primarily interested in Telerik AJAX components.

Did you even try searching anything?

I tried searching Telerik's knowledge base. It would be great if all the answers to optimizing their controls could be aggregated into this post. Its best for everyone.

I really don't like their controls because they are far too visually focused. Things like performance become an after thought and, unfortunately, are given far too little swagger room to improve.

Ty - I assure you performance is not an after thought. We work hard to enable devs to have full control over the RadControls, and we're always striving to maximize performance. That said, you should only use rich UI controls when you need them to achieve best performance, so be cautious of replacing all default controls with rich controls as a rule of thumb. If you've hit a specific perf problem, let me know and I'll be happy to help.

I also found these sources on the Telerik site recently when looking for performance boost techniques:

Top performance page

Support Center RadControls Performance section

They look pretty descriptive and cover most of their controls.
