I think that you need to reconsider your test environment. JAWS does not
offer ARIA support (active regions) prior to version 10 and Internet
Explorer does not support ARIA prior to version 8. If you are attempting
to achieve accessibility within an AJAX application without implementing
ARIA you are unlikely to achieve much success.

That being said, both JAWS 10 and IE demand considerable resources.
Good performance for JAWS requires a good video card - I know that is
not intuitive but it is true.
