Cause frames are a very good way to have at least a bit structure in your
content. Why always reload stuff that does not need to be reloaded. Why
always scroll widgets away that need to be accessed every time? HTML is
already bad enough with frames so I don't also wanna lose those.

Well, frames meant to help in those areas, but the implementation
compromises so much more as a result.
When I changed a site from frames to a purely CSS design, it loaded faster
than before, not slower. Since the overall page weight was reduced, even
re-downloading the navigation (which is now customized to the specific
page) didn't take any appreciable time.
I don't know what kind of site you have, but it's hard to imagine a widget
that is so vital that you have to have it there in the viewport all the
time via frames. Certainly not at the cost that it incurs on the usability
of the site.
To directly answer your question - I don't believe what you seek is
possible.
