Java/CGI Chat Room
This one was pretty OK. I thought it did the job alright, but I had some users complain that it didn't have a side-bar showing who else was in the room. It was also a little lagged, so I decided on trying another script to try and get an improvement. I installed;
PhpMyChat Room
This one was HEAPS better, in my opinion. It offered the option to register your nickname and I just found the whole layout a lot better. It also showed who else was in the room, so I thought it was perfect. Then I realised the lag. This chat script seems to refresh every 3 seconds or so, so it is quite slow, and when you have a few people trying to have a conversation it can get very difficult to follow what's going on.
Now my question is, how can improve on this? I like all the features of the PhpMyChat Room but I hate the lag. Maybe there is a way to increase the refresh rate? Or if not, could somebody recommend another script that offers the same features as this script, but runs faster? If nobody knows of any, that's cool... but if someone does know of any other scripts that I might like I'd appreciate the heads up.
Thanks.
PS. I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but I couldn't think of a more appropriate one. Mods, if this should be somewhere else feel free to move it (as if you wouldn't just do that anyway
).
