A threaded server like pylons it's not a good idea for long pollings.
Each request is a thread with considerable overhead.

Forgot using nginx for long polling. Things that made great nginx are
things that makes inviable to long polling. Use HAProxy instead.

Orbited looks great (it have a very good architecture). If you don't
use it, copy it.

Take a look to ape-project and a queue server.
