Do you anticipate that the use of WebSockets will improve performance? If so, can you estimate to what degree?

- amix 17y agoIt will since you don't need to open and close connections all the time. I can't estimate at what degree, but I think the communication will be much faster since currently some time is used to re-create connections.
- mcantelon 17y agoAlso, once the handshake is done, no back-and-forth of TCP/IP headers (which generate a lot of needless bandwidth).

Either need https, or fallback on comet.
- icey 17y agoI don't want to pry, but I'm really curious - do you work full-time on Mibbit, or is it a side project for you?
- axod 17y agoReasonably full-time now, my brother is pretty much full-time on it now also (Not abstractbill, our older bro). Things are going well :) I think it's always good to have a few things on the go though, so I doubt I'd ever be 'full-time' on any one thing ;)
