Thanks for the insight. I think I'm still going to try it out and see how it works for me.
How you did you get the AjaxUpdate to fire on mouseover? I've been fudging around with this for a couple of days now and I'm at the point where I'm writing my own Ajax component using bits of AjaxUpdateLink.

Yep. It's not the time on the server that gets you, it's the round trip and it just made the menu feel to "sluggish" for my taste. Plus the callback is fired over and over as the user drags the mouse down the menu.
I suppose you could pull it off by triggering the callback on click and using some clever loading graphics...or maybe loading the hierarchy one level ahead or something...just didn't work for me.
