Is there any way for PageBlaster to cache all content on page EXCEPT one particular module?

I have a CataLook based site and am enjoying the performance benefits of using PageBlaster throughout the site. Now the client has asked for a new feature - to display the number of items and total $ in the shopping cart in a small panel in the header. I could do this with a module but I think adding this would force me to ditch PageBlaster. This is because each visitor now needs to get a potentially different version of the page, and PageBlaster can only be used on pages where everyone gets the same content. Is there any way I can add the module and keep PageBlaster? I don't think I can exclude a particular ASCX control from being cached, because PageBlaster works on whole pages. My best idea so far is to add an IFrame to the skin and load a separate ASPX page into it that contains the module, then exclude that ASPX page. However I am not sure if this approach works yet. Any ideas?

I have a couple of thoughts on this. The most important page to be really fast is the home/start page. Aside from that, if you have other pages that are regulary reached from clicking on a link in a search engine or from other sites, those should be as fast as possible too. So, you could just have the mini-cart on the store pages where people are actually shopping. The other option is to put it anywhere they want, but only have it visible if the user is logged in. That way you get fast browsing for anonymous users and a better chance to "lure" them into being registered users. By default, PageBlaster does not cache authenticated users. Your other idea with the Iframe may work too.
