[Server-devel] 100 user test on XS
I tested ejabberd from XS 0.5.2 with 100 concurrent users using hyperactivity. This is just using shared-roster. Memory usage was totaly under 1G with no swapping. It got a little slow on the client side running the hyperactivity code. The neighborhood view was pretty crowded but everything seemed to work well. This was a very basic test, but overall seems to be promising news.
