There should be NO message, you miss! The protocols are responsable (is that spelled correctly???) for delivering messages. If it takes too much time to process each message, you have to build a fifo stack to cut down the peaks (which one of the 'normal' protocols already does). Are you using Indy? if not, USE INDY!!!! A small calculation shows, that your Connection will run with about 50 kB/s which is quite a lot. The wire is capable of that, so you could use several simultaneous connections at the same time from client to server which can reduce the bottleneck. And if that is not enough, you could use more than one server.....
