Ajax navigation in itself is problematic, because a viewroot replacement
would mean you have to replace the head and body.
While the body (at least its content) can be replaced, a head replacment
does not work out. You can only simulate it by running an eval on the
javascripts afterwards and on the css. Which in itself is somewhat a
burden speedwise. You probably end up with a normal navigation to be
faster and with less possible risk of failure.
