Load chunks of samely structured content on-demand. Sample app I made for bittorrent when applying for a job: http://dhtmlkitchen.com/tmp/bittorrent/ (waste of time, that was).
For example of content that gets refreshed, a table refresh widget would update the data in the HTML TABLE by fetchng JSON. Content that is loaded on-demand but reused in a template could be a product-info panel or a tooltip. Each panel is tied to an actuator and is shown with unique data, but it is created from a template that has essentially the same structure.
