Hi, my name is François Faubert.

It’s quite obvious that not having to load a page countless times will save you bandwidth. Even I was aware of that. It’s just nice to see people making concrete tests to prove the concept.

Keep in mind however that this is not the best case scenario for rendering all of a website’s content because of the infamous back button problem.

By using AJAX to update the HTML content of an html template, these guys managed to save more than 60% of the necessary bandwidth using traditional methods.

Now someone on the web only needs to make the same types of benchmarks from the database’s perspective and I’d be really happy.
