Fewer bigger messages vs many small messages

Postby fluffy » 03 Nov 2011, 22:33

Hello!

We have a server with a very high load and many clients. We are sending many small updates from the server to all the clients. My question is, if it would be more advantages, if we were to send a big update package instead of many small ones. Then we would have fewer messages that are bigger.

Having many clients, i think i would be better to have bigger messages since the server can send them in one piece instead of handling so many messages. (much queueing / dequeuing / switching between clients,...)

Is that right or doesn't it make any difference?

Regards,
Fluffy
