  1. Totally agree that understanding internal aspects of AJAX is a key in solving performance problems. What makes UpdatePanel slow? While AJAX is considered by many a client-side technology, the ASP.NET AJAX request, just like web form request, submits to the server a Viewstate for the entire page and requires full page execution. The response downloads bulky HTML including ViewState. Multiple ScriptResource.axd requests also slowdown initial page load.

    AJAX pages would be much faster if UpdatePanel could download only data-related traffic without Viewstate and generate HTML on the client, or even better, could be entirely executed on the client without server roundtrips. It would be ideal if post request could be compressed, JavaScript resources download from the server could be avoided, and all of that almost without coding.

    To implement this approach we developed ASP.NET software accelerator, Web Stimulus.
