An HTML based app in CF, would have to do meta-refreshes for the chat screens to be up-to-date and live.
A Flash-based or Java based app, I believe, would not have to do meta-refereshes, those applications would be using some other method to make the chat up-to-date. In addition, those apps could probably use xml files rather than connect to a database.
If you know of any apps like that, please let me know.
