It doesn't matter. It's wasting CPU cycles (and on a faster machine, it just wastes 'em faster) like driving a Hummer SUV in circles wastes gas.

It's also more data (the flash code) that will be sent repeatedly and needlessly down my T1.
Yeah, I'm thinking of those kinds of issues. The new shoutbox will make a huge, huge difference with the site bandwidth and server load.

I'm leaning toward the X7 chat right now - it's pretty speedy and clean.
