All I'm trying to say is that I think there will be applications that use websockets and there will be applications that don't - they will have different impact on servers and performance. There are plenty of web based IM systems operating today that get pretty good performance without websockets. Clearly websockets will have a bunch of desirable features for this sort of signaling.
