I've been using more of the Ajax stuff (ala SeasideAsync) and find it 
works just fine speedwise -- my web-app is only running on my garage 
based Compaq Proliant 6400 (quad Xeon's running at 500Mhz) on Linux and 
find no issues w/ speed.. Of course, that's only with 1 user doing 
development/testing.. Should be much better when proxied up and put on a 
faster (production) machine... I use the Ajax stuff to update a div that 
displays the contents of my shopping cart and other address fields.. 
It's VERY slick and my wife & sister-in-law were very impressed with 
what I've got going in this yet-to-be-done web-app..
