Almost everything (that makes sense) uses JS to fetch some small php function on the server. I followed this design with the old school RIA mindset: deliver more dynamic, interactive pages to the user.

Lately I’ve been noticing a curiously awesome side effect. Our bandwidth usage is at an all time low. I don’t have metrics for it (yet), but the application loads noticeably faster. I did a little googling and found others getting as much as 73% performance increases. Pretty cool stuff. It’s nice to see something so hyped up actually deliver.
