I'm seeing some differences in the latency of making a post request via jQuery versus sending a websockets message. It maybe that this is overhead in my application caused by processing the json I am sending in the message, but I find this hard to believe. I imagined that web socket connection should be faster than REST due to it not creating and destroying the socket, however this does not seem to be the case. Is there a reason why websockets should be slower?
I thing I can code up a small test case to illustrate this if this is something people are interested in .. MR
