  Yes, the graph in the blog is just a sample. There will be a detailed post about performance coming, including access from browsers and non-browsers across fast and latent connections. The chattiness of REST across slow connections is one of the biggest advantages to the socket protocol. How the client handles the true async behavior of the sockets (not just via callback in the client!) makes a massive difference in performance.
