I want to use the AJAX ModalPopup Extender control on a few of my ASP pages to make some data entry tasks more user friendly. &nbsp;How much, if any, overhead does enabling AJAX in a web application create? &nbsp;Is there any reason I should avoid using AJAX in my application? &nbsp;Someone on my web team seems completely against AJAX and I'm trying to understand why.<br />

Thanks!
