You can do iframes or AJAX loading but that generally makes user feel 
like it waits more: the page is loaded but he still have to wait for 
something else. So it is questionable whether it is good for users or 
not. Personally I prefer to get a page at once step, not many.

You can also do a USER_INT on a regular page but implementing its own 
cache. I used this technique approximately a year ago in a project and 
it worked well. Pages load much faster and blocks change when they have 
to change (different cache times). I used my own implementation of 
memcached cache. Now you can use TYPO3 caching framework. Overal it was 
much faster than traditional USER_INT but the code was quite 
sophisitcated.
