[development] [#19375] Performance / Scalability with DXMPP for Xomba

[Aaron Winborn]

To clarify, the Drupal code sits on their server with Acquia. Their db 
holds 200k users, but apparently they only have something in the range 
of 250 online at any one time. Our server will not be running database, 
so I should probably have clarified the question.

The question has more to do with synchronizing their database, which 
will entail an initial heavy load because of the persistent connection 
required for that, but should quickly scale back. The issue I'm 
wondering about is if I'm going about it the best way (synchronizing the 
systems on the fly rather than all at once).

Thanks,
Aaron

I was under the impression from early discussions that this project was for around 25 users not 200K users.  There is quite a difference in there.  Never the less, I am not sure specifically what feedback you would like.  It seems to me that you understand the issues involved.  Without some sort of test (say adding 20K users and timing it then multiply by 10) I really have no clue what sort of load this will place on the server.  I glanced at your code and it looks fine to me.  Unfortunately I am by no means a drupal expert and as such I have no idea how this would relate to performance of any given device.
