Ajax uses 8kb (8,192 bytes) just for the http header.

Ajax - 66 Mbps

10,000 clients polling every second

Network throughput is (871 x 10,000) = 8,710,000 bytes = 69,680,000 bits per second

WebSockets - 156 Kbps

10,000 frames every second

Network throughput is (2 x 10,000)/1 = 20,000 bytes = 160,000 bits per second

Why is Nodejitsu the best?

Combination of culture and technical understanding and the right size. Forme they are similar to how heroku was for ruby before they got purchased by salesforce. They live and breathe node.js, whereas most of the others (heroku, vmware, microsoft and even joyent) have to balance multiple offerings. Nodester is a bit too small, but that will hopefully change. From a technical perspective (we are running a couple of instances onnodejitsu for months now) I am very impressed. Zero downtime so far, and agood API (we make extensive use of it).

To get access: hop onto the freenode channel #nodejitsu and ask one of the admins there. You should have access in no time.
