I wrote a proof-of-concept demo of 'Pushlets' in PHP a few months ago for
my own amusement. I concluded (as did the Java Pushlets guy) that pushing
content over http to more than 20 or so clients puts an unnecessarily big
burden on the server. (In fact the Pushlet guy has been pushing 'pullets'
for quite a while now.) 

But hey, if anyone's interested I could dig it out & dust it off ...
