Description I bet your Javascript code is probably too complicated, and your pages/apps have sub-par user experience by loading/communicating slowly. Why? Because, unfortunately, UI architecture gets no respect! So, change it. There IS a better way. LABjs/EFWS, mpAjax, flXHR, and other projects will help you architect your UI the right way.
