I've got a requirement to support clients in Third World areas.  Bandwidth is a critical issue.
I've got a radCastTabStrip and am finding that it is creating a lot of unnecessary markup in the browser (I've got several other Telerik RAD controls as well which likely have a similar problem) .
I think its creating a lot of bloated ViewSpace, but I know that the radTabStrip is creating a chain of nested span tags for each item.
Is there a way to strip out all the markup tags so that I can just use my own CSS stylesheets?
Are there any other suggestions you can offer to optimize RAD controls for low bandwidth?

A related question, as is, each <li>, <a>, and <span> tag created by the radTabStrip has its own CSS class explicitly added.
For low bandwidth, this is serious bloat.  Is there a way to remove these so that I can assign CSS based on the radTabStrip's own id/class?

Hello Brian,

We try to keep the markup to the bare minimum with RadControls. All of the elements and classes that you see are required for one feature or another.

We have a dedicated page with best practices for improving the performance of RadControls. You can find it here:
http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/resources/top-performance.aspx

The key areas that you should focus on are HTTP compression and the RadScriptManager/RadStyleSheetManager components.

With the latest release we also provide CDN support for the control scripts and skins. Read more about it here:
