  35 &gt;<i>Out of curiousity, how many users do you think services could handle
  36 </I>&gt;<i>efficiently?
  37 </I>
  38      Earlier versions ran borderline with about 25k users from reports I
  39 heard.  5.0 has more efficient I/O but more overhead per command, so maybe
  40 more, maybe less, I don't know.  Obviously it all depends on the system you
  41 run it on; I remember Services on EsperNet having lag trouble on startup
  42 with just 700 simultaneous users, but at the time it was running on a
  43 486/100.  Give it an Athlon 1900 or some such and maybe it can handle 100k
  44 users, I don't know--but to be honest it's not really designed to handle
  45 that many users efficiently.

  48 &gt;&gt;<i>      I still haven't heard of a _real_ network with 100k users, but even
  49 </I>&gt;<i>
  50 </I>&gt;<i>You've never heard of dalnet?
  51 </I>
  52      I wasn't aware they had 100k simultaneous users, but then I haven't
  53 gone there in a while.
  54
  55 &gt;&gt;<i>      Also, it's worth noting that Services' I/O engine has been completely
  56 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> redesigned for 5.0, so any comparisons done with 4.x don't count.
  57 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
  58 </I>&gt;<i>Actually, if I remember correctly 5.0 was slower. May be because of added
  59 </I>&gt;<i>features
  60 </I>
  61      As mentioned above, commands have more overhead (mostly because they
  62 use callbacks), so any comparisons done with 4.x don't count even more.
  63
  64 &gt;<i>It's of point to note that both versions of ircservices sent a lot more
  65 </I>&gt;<i>to the server. Any idea what this could be?
  66 </I>
  67      Because they're friendlier and want to chat with the server more?
