Time given, I might tackle the coding to have the underlying transport to be switched to websockets when available as Glyph suggested, but currently I see no performance issues and the servers are running with uptimes now measured in years.</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"></blockquote><div><br></div><div>To be honest, the main reason to add websocket support is not so much that there is a significant performance problem that needs to be addressed, but rather that people are going to show up _expecting_ that there's a significant performance problems because they've heard on some JavaScript forum that websockets are fast :). If Nevow can just tick that box on the feature list, there's that much less to argue about.</div><div><br></div><div>Glad that Nevow has been working well for you, though :)</div><div><br></div><div>-glyph</div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
