For optimise your system research for HTTP http keep alive connections real time notifications in php for more efficients use node.js.
I'd have given this +1 were it not for the node. Js recommendation: for much more (system) efficiency write it in assembly language - but its not always a pragmatic or practical solution to switch languages – symcbean Apr 6 at 12:46.
The best chat application in Erlang is ejabberd, which, luckily, now has http-bind feature.
