But not necessarily with that bit! I think you're comparing adding some protocol at the HTTP level (e.g. something like an Apache module or a HTTP proxy, bit like compression), with completely _reengineering_ a web site, which might be a vast undertaking. (That said I am vagely working on a HTTP proxy which accelerates existing web sites by AJAXifying their updates transparently in precisely this way, so that sites where much of the page stays the same as you click along go that bit faster, so it's not out of the question.) -- Jamie
