Hello,

I was building a web chat system using jQuery, PHP, and mysql and it's working, the thing is that someone informed me that it will strain the server if I do it this way, and suggested I used "Comet Polling" for it, but I have never heard about it before.. What is the best method to use, for real-time chat rooms?

Thanks :)
