A new UI would always be new to new users even such users has subject matter knowledge, thus, it's necessary to provide them with some quick intro or instructions, however, such instructions would be of no value to a user who's accessed the UI multiple times already, then, why leaving it on the UI (consuming real estate).  We know who's who (users) upon user login, however, to track user login requires one extra query (database call), which reduces efficiency, thus, I wonder if we are able to track each user from client side (browser UI side) though I understand web is stateless.

Thanks.
