I know I'm biased because I've done more AJAX stuff than you have, but
I really think redrawing the whole screen after each update would be
intolerable. Firefox 3 betas are already a lot faster at Javascript
than Firefox 2 and previous, though I don't know if the other
browsers are making similar speed improvements.

Personally, I would use some toolkit like dojo, just as you used
existing GUI toolkits like qt and gtk rather than reinventing the
wheel for Gambas. (I'm not suggesting dojo specifically, but I think
it's an example of a toolkit that provides almost everything we would
need.)

I'm still waiting for more of my time to free up, as well.
