However, I’m impressed with the ability of the LiveCycle Data Services (LCDS) to push what seems like a massive amount of messages per second to client machines running Adobe Flash/AIR applications.

LCDS in their scenario was able to push 400,000 messages to 500 concurrent clients with an average latency of less than 15 milliseconds on a single dual-processor Intel machine.

I know there were some big improvements in the network stack and polling API in Silverlight 4 (in particular the http stack added multiple messages per poll) – but I don’t know how it compares from a performance perspective to the Adobe options.

Anyone know of any real-world comparisons?

Here’s a link to a video demonstrating how easy it is to do … (it’s nearly the same steps in WPF).
