I've been working with AJAX on Xaraya, but for my responses I've simply 
created an AJAX theme (which outputs valid xml) and go through the 
normal route, loading the entire core.

You have a good point though about the overhead, in the past I've crated 
my own scripts that sat along side the index.php and contained the 
following:

<?
    xarCoreInit(XARCORE_SYSTEM_ADODB|XARCORE_SYSTEM_MODULES);

    //The rest of your script
    xarModAPIFunc(....);
    etc...


?>

The xarCoreInit line tells the system to load the database (ADODB) and 
module apis.  (A list of available apis to load are in the 
/includes/xarCore.php script.)

I'm not too familiar with the ws.php script that exists in the root 
directory, but it was intended for "WebServices" which really should 
include ajax requests I would think.
