An individual server-to-server communication occurs in milliseconds, so the fact that messages do not arrive frequently is completely irrelevant. It's simply because Moxie -- someone likely to be immune to your kind of negativism -- has not seen fit to work on the problem, given that messaging with an asynchronous chat format fits the general trend of user adoption. Someday I suspect he'll come around on it, I hope.
