Patrick,
he did clearly mention he needed speed and wanted to use eID AND he
needs typoscript available. In reality this combination is not possible.

The rest below is true of-course,
however I wonder if initializing all the stuff initialized is really a  
lot faster then using a page type whish
is a lot easer to use. I never did any testing on it but my wild guess  
is that it's not very suitable for Ajax style suggestions,
given that he wanted that (usually people want ajax suggestions with  
eID, but the guy never mentioned what he really needed)
