Aside from enhanced user experience, do Ajax calls provide any significant performance benefit?
Before even Ajax was coined, then popularized, programmers go to great lengths(using the combination of javascript and inner frame) to make their web app responsive and provide enhanced user experience.
It also provides significant performance, instead of re-rendering the page, your ajax web app only communicate with the server to get data and update only some parts of screen accordingly.
The first A(Asynchronous) in AJAX, also tells it all, as long as your web app facilitates asynchronous operations(think autocomplete), your web app is already way ahead in terms of enhanced user experience, user-friendliness. Though not all programmers uses the first A(some just make things synchronous to simplify the code).
For all intents and purposes, AJAX makes for great user experience, the Ask Question of Stack Overflow is one good example, using AJAX, it can preemptively prevent duplicate post.
