What do you mean scripts dont work for them? like javascript?

Have you guys heard of comet? I was just directed to it: http://ajaxian.com/archives/comet-a-new-approach-to-ajax-applications

Sounds interesting. I hope

Sounds interesting.

I hope you have alternatives for the unfortunate millions who work for major corporations that have Internet security level set to "high." Scripts don't work for them (and in many more situations beside.)

Are you asking what platform

Are you asking what platform to base things off of?

Why would AJAX destroy your server? AJAX is javascript that runs on the client. Maybe your designed client is sending a large number of requests to the server?
Some of the message implies you haven't built anything yet, and some of it implies you have something built, but performance is a problem.

Don't design a performant application. Design a simple, modular, easily refactorable class heirarchy / code base. Performance can always be added by profiling what you have, seeing where the bottlenecks are and cleaning them up. Often performance problems on apps like these can be cleaned up by tuning the database (or choosing a completely different data storage strategy than the oft chosen RDBMS) rather than tuning code.
