efficient ajax calls using flash?

Hey guys,

I do an ajax call to update a div in my view with a different partial.
The new partial uses data that was originally queried when the page was
loaded. It is kinda redundant to have to requery that record again.

Is the best solution to use flash to pass the result set. I guess, my
question is,

Does flash get stored on the client side, or on the server side.

If its only the client side then flashing would make sense.

On the other hand, if I am just requerying the database using the "ID"
field, isn''t that ultra fast and takes very little resources where it
wont matter if I just requery for that specific result?
