Speed test:
All major browsers that support JavaScript will receive pushes via
Cometify. However some browsers are currently faster than others,
depending on their JavaScript implementation or if they support
HTML 5 WebSockets. Speed tests of Cometify have shown that Safari 5.0+,
Chrome 5.0+, Firefox 4.0 and Opera 9+ are about 2-3 times faster than
Firefox versions 2.0 - 3.6 and Internet Explorer. With a 12-100 Mbit
internet-connection, it usually takes somewhere between
0.04 - 0.40 seconds to receive a pushed message.
