True, but the list is generally not reloaded, just the one message
the user clicks upon, so that is not a problem.

yes, just to note, this is not the first project I do on that scale.
I have dealt with memcache and sharedance so far, both are really great
and work pretty stable.
This project is most fun though :)

and server affinity is a good point, the load balancer in front could
do that, but since I will store stuff into sharedance or memcache,
its not necessary.
