XMPP is an open TCP connection with its own protocol, like MQTT, Stomp, Redis, NATS, and all the *MQs. WebSub is mostly between HTTP servers, where one server can tell another that it wants a specific HTTP URL to be GET’d on a message. Each message requires a new TCP connection. So it will not handle very many messages - but I don’t think that’s the point.

There's no reason to open a new TCP connection for each HTTP request; multiple request per connection have been supported since HTTP 1.0, and since 1.1 it's even the default.

  ...and then there's even multiplexing in HTTP 2 (multiple http requests at the same time on the same connection)
