Ok, as promissed, im reporting on what i have done.

Here is the code for the prototype i have been working on, to test the concept and check some of the changes needed to implement it.

The code isnt meant to be added, just for checking and commenting; it was done against the code on SourceForge cvs (public, of course).

Following are some notes of implementation, covering what i have found out, done and thought about.

[Aw3]

The thing is that the main slow down is not because of data reloading, it is because of data preparation. I think we can make it 10 times faster just by rewriting a couple of places in WS...

That is also an advantage of the ajax way, since a lot less needs to be prepared and sent.

You need to prepare anyway, as you approach can work for some information field, but the lists are changing all the time, thus the whole list should be resend.

I believe the biggest cpu sink its the search and replace operations (correct me if im wrong).

The replace as its done now will search all over the document for a given tag to substitute, even if theres only one ocorrence and EVEN if there isnt that tag.

Actually no, search & replace is not the bottleneck. And it is not that slow as you think, because every page is split into several templates and you don't process the whole page every time.
