Practically all the resources are mentioned in the FAQ:
http://www.dynamic-core.net/core/files/faq.dynapi2.html
You can work with loadpanels, to load content, passing values, without
refreshing the page.

AFAIK all .js files are saved in the browser cache, so if you load a page
with the same files as a previous page they won't download twice.

See above.
It's not so much download time to worry about, as ram memory usage, and
rendering time (and the stability issues involved)
