title: Suggest Comet server
body: <p>I am looking for open-source linux-based Comet server.
  Currently, looking at Hookbox - but as it's in Python, I am concerned about performance.
  Does Python instead of C++ have big impact on performance here? </p>
  
  <p>Developer estimated it's performance to about 100 of requests per second when having 100 channels... Not really fast :-|</p>
  
  <p>Could you suggest the most actively supported/used comet server which is binary(=faster), easy to integrate and (kinda) lighweight? Also, Java/.NET is no-go here.</p>
  
  <p>Our goal is some 10k+ connections per server, about 2000-5000 messages per second across 10-20k channels.</p>
