> This is an old issue. Basically the way Fauxton works is that going from page to page within a particular route causes a re-render of everything - even headers. This is both unnecessary from an end user standpoint (the header doesn't need to change in many cases) and a bit unsightly (the header flashes as it's redrawn).
> I'd like to improve this so that route changes only cause repaints of whatever you want (e.g. the main body) and not everything. It should allow you to fine-tune exactly what needs redrawing on route changes, and what can be preserved. There should be a way to re-render the preserved Views as needed.
> I have something in mind which I'll put in a PR and open up for discussion.
