Are these calls from your own template/client? If the records are not
critical, ie. for billing, throttling, have you considered just firing a
second js request to the background *in the client* to record the event
after the first ajax request is processed. Or if there are a lot of
requests per session you could batch them together occasionally like 10 or
20 events to 1 analytic request. Without batching that would double the
amount of requests you would have to process though, but maybe would be
simpler than other solutions if the event accuracy is not critical. Just
throwing that out there.
