    Optimising chat box

    Currently the chat box plugin puts a too heavy load on the network as it transfer all the chats (around 30) every 5-6 seconds even if nothing has been updated or even if no user is active on the chat. This transforms to around 20 (each request) * 10 (for 1 Minute) * 60 (for one hour) = 12000KB. That's more than 10MB/per hour for just being active on Jatland.

    Can something be done so that only the updated stuff is returned back, so that the bandwidth consumption can go down?

    Or can we look for some lighter alternatives to the current "VSA" chat?

    This must be putting too much of load on the client and server machines.

    yes, however, the attached file is the returned result (not the post data). To my surprise, I found out that, vBulletin uses "POST", even for fetching data.

    Baki, yeh, front-end mane gana nahin aanda. ess khatar eb aali company ma mane koi apne project ma na leta.

    Arvind,
    You're right about the number of requests on the chat page, but not about the size. You can not open misc.php in the browser and see the actual datastream, but at the backend the sizes served is easier to see. Each request is actually less than 1K. The chat has to refresh - its ajax based- the trade off is data transfer and refresh frequency.

    We are quite focused on page load speeds etc - the forums homepage is about 200k for the first load, but only 20k for the repeat view. even there a significant portion is coming from the google ads.

    For chat, we are still trying to figure out the optimum solution - right now this appears to be the best, but we continue to evaluate.
