[JDEV] Re: order of messages

[Joe Hildebrand]

Some servers do a better job of in-order processing than others.  I know
that in our commerical server (http://www.jabber.com/) we have done a *lot*
of work to ensure that messages get delivered in the appropriate order, but
that thread concurrency isn't compromised.
