[TYPO3-dev] Best practice for ajax use in BE?

[ries van Twisk]

Hey Steffen,

as a side note .....

I did that one day for a project (3000 pages website)
on which each page could get a lot of comments.

Guess what happens to the typo3 cache :D

yes you can guess that... the cache grows easily to 5GB
just because typo3 caches the complete page for each variant...

that  was quite fun....
