Routers are powerful tools in Single Page Applications, and Kendo UI's router provides an API to wrap up this power. But the API hides a lot of potential complexity and performance issues if you're not careful. Calling the navigate method without regard for the current context of the application and whether or not that context is changing can result in unwanted re-rendering of the entire application. This can reduce the responsiveness of the app, waste time re-drawing content that isn't changing, and cause a lot of flickering on the screen - and none of this is desirable from a user's perspective.

With the Q1 2013 release of Kendo UI, there were several new components added to better facilitate Single Page Application (SPA) development. Since the release, I've been building sample applications, writing blog posts and creating screencasts to cover these new framework pieces.
