You could try a trick:
When generating the ajax reply have a look for a cache file, if none is 
there fire up TSFE (there are methods in class.tslib_eidtools.php). 
Generate all TypoScript, etc. and store the parts of the TypoScript you 
need as serialized array. The next time you have to generate this stuff 
just deserialize the stored TS, make a cObj instance, and there you go. 
No rat-tail of TSFE, cObject, llxml, t3lib/class.t3lib_*

I think eID is good as long as you do not want to normally render 
content, and send it to the browser via ajax (for replacing other 
content). If you would like to generate only small messages like in 
Facebook messages you could render such content by using a cObj and a 
TEMPLATE object ... I think you won't need a TSFE in such cases.
