I suppose my answer boils down to: You'll never know until you try, on YOUR hardware with YOUR software. I suspect that if ALL your server does is slam the data into MySQL or fwrite() to an opened (once at start) file, it will be fine -- or at least in the ballpark enough that you can explore measures to make it faster rather than build something super complex. That's just a WILD GUESS. Only a test on your hardware will tell you. The good thing is, a test script from the example in the manual should take you, what, an hour to write, a day to debug and make sure it works with multiple clients, and another day or two to stress test and see if it can handle the load? -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
