[JDEV] server performance questions

[Corbett J. Klempay]

Ah wow, that's much better than I was expecting.  How common do you expect
Jabber servers to be? (like every ISP running them? lots of
personal/college dorm ones?)

Hmm, I'd be curious to know what kind of hardware is running the
icq#.mirabilis.com servers.  (I would think ICQ's protocol would be much
less server-intensive, though)

Here is a question that is probably been talked about/done...say I'm a
Jabber user trying to find a friend...how is directory searching (or the
equivalent of) treated? I mean, does the user have to know what server to
check, or is there a way to have it mask (from a searching standpoint) the
large number of servers, making it appear to the user like they are
searching just one large directory?
