Just to add an additional note, if using the gadgets fetch content then that is caching the results also right (in addition to the AJAX Feed API)? So maybe JSONP will help with latency there and eliminate another potential point of failure with the gadgets API and upcoming name space change. With JSONP I am also removing the old script tags before adding another. (but that's just me and my personal preference :))
