Wouldn't it be nice to have AJAX style folding menu leaves, the create content menu would become so much more usefull without having to reload. I'll try to look into it myself, but i don't think i'm quite up to the task.

I'm not familiar enough with the menu system to undertake this issue, but what I can do is help out on the javascript side.

+1 from me for this one. It'd be really great.

To avoid reloading for each admin-menu (un)collapsing, look into the great CSS-based rules "display: none", or other similar dynamic menu systems - for which a bundle are showcased on the great site www.alistapart.com - and other CSS gurus like Stu Nicholls CSS playground.
It's quite possible to include such a menu in a custom block.

AJAX/SAJAX is perhaps best suited when larger content parts are loaded on demand and a smoother user interface experience is desired.

I said admin-menu, but meant content-menu .. or whatever menu really.

This depends on http://drupal.org/node/17869 and should probably not be implemented in core, but in individual themes which choose to use this (once a working sample theme exists then maybe we can review it).
