I'm currently using the `ws` library for a custom live-streaming solution (broadcasting binary data) and the memory/CPU usage is indeed not small for a handful of clients. What does `uws` bring new (technically) to the table?

There is nothing new brought to the table, feature wise. Same old ws interface, you keep your current code unchanged. Swap require('ws') with require('uws') and see how it works for your code, report any issues if you need them fixed. Well, of course there is a 20-30x perf boost, 10-40x memory improvement compared to ws (as the benchmark table shows).

  Yes, I've seen the very simple integration, I'll definitely give it a try. I was actually curious how you've achieved that performance boost?

What can of live feed are you using/trying to read ? I'm very interested in this, can you give me details ?

  Something like this [1]. It can go over 20fps and looks pretty smooth on iOS devices, no sound though. [1] http://phoboslab.org/log/2013/09/html5-live-video-streaming-via-websockets http://phoboslab.org/log/2013/09/html5-live-video-streaming-...

    May i suggest you to take a look on https://github.com/131/h264-live-player https://github.com/131/h264-live-player (with ws :p)
