Yes, that's why I started thinking about something better in 1990.
I understood there was no way for IRC to be 'fixed' because its

is fundamentally flawed. XMPP is only syntactically flawed, which is
a much better starting point. And you can argue that's just my
opinion.
That's ok. Still IRC does multicast, and XMPP is still missing that,
and Pedro is the kind of person who can see the impact of that
each day.
I also see this impact. With the situation we have *today* I agree
with Dave that we don't save much traffic and stanzas with
repeaters. There is nearly no PubSub usage at all today, and in the
most Muc rooms we have only 5-30 participants. If I look at the
participants of jdev today than the most users have local
jabber.org Jids, and max. 2 or 3 participants are on the same
federated server. People join and leave, so there will be a tie
between the stanzas we save in the repeater and the overhead to
maintain the distribution list in the repeater.
A quick data-point: the largest pubsub node *right now*, has a bit
over 73000 (73056 to be exact) subscribers, the top 3 are all above
72k. And this service is only for local users of the server.
[OT] And yes, even now, with only local users, we see a bit spike in
ejabberd when we have a new notification. This is a old version of
ejabberd and we are using a component connection, I'm sure that if we
move this to angie in 2.x we will improve a bit.
