[Chameleon] FUSSION seems to be much faster than Chameleon

Hi,

Fusion is faster than Chameleon and there's no easy way to import 
Chameleon widgets in Fusion because Fusion use other technologies. If 
you find Chameleon too slow or if you want slippy map support in your 
application, I suggest you switch to Fusion, MapFish or OpenLayers.

If you are happy with your current application but find it too slow, you 
should probably look at your mapfile and try to see if you can speed it up.

Like Tim said, Chameleon is not really developed actively anymore. It's 
more in a support phase right now so if you plan to invest a lot of time 
in developing new functionality, it's probably better to go with a 
software that has a more active community.
