Hi Nikola, My 5 cents - have you taken other solutions in consideration? Simone Fabiano recently issued here<http://blog.lightstreamer.com/2013/05/benchmarking-socketio-vs-lightstreamer.html> an apple-to-apple data broadcasting comparison with socket.io (messages generated on the server side and sent to over 4 thousand clients, ran over two Amazon EC2 Machines) and it proved to be able to scale better than plain websockets with socket.io in CPU usage, data latency, and bandwidth consumption, with some other useful features to improve the overall performance. The same benchmarking kit has been left on GitHub<https://github.com/Weswit/Lightstreamer-toolkit-Socket.IO-benchmark>, so you can get it and test other scenarios. Note that a startup program<http://www.lightstreamer.com/startup>, which allows to get Lightstreamer at special conditions, is currently active.
