Why haven't Boonex implemented Chat and IM on Unity?

As my site gets busier, I move my site to a server that can handle the load. Lately, the chat room seems to have kicked off and that increase in usage has obviously placed a higher demand on the CPU resources. That coupled with the continual CPU spikes that seem to take place at a time of its own choosing (even when there is no activity on the site) have been causing major problems of late.

I have just upgraded to a VPS as a result of these issues but the problem seems to have continued.

At my sites peak times you tend to see about 40 to 50 people online at once with about 25 to 30 possibly using the chat room as well as the IM.

Just this small amount of people using the chat room and IM is sometimes too much for the server to handle. Yes I can hear some people saying well upgrade again................but surely a VPS could deal with that small amount of people?

What would be nice are some statistics on application usage correlated with member numbers and resource expectations.

Makes you wonder if Boonex have not yet implemented these features on Unity simply because they know that with all its members, the Boonex site would crash and burn every 5 minutes as their servers could not possibly handle the load.

I mean what an ideal opportunity Boonex have to showcase the potential of their software by demonstrating the breadth of the chat room and IM within the confines of Unity with many real and constantly online members.

Forget Boonex.us for testing that feature as we are not always on that site. The only time I use it is to test if something is a bug or not whereas the amount of time I spend on this site usually trying to find a solution or helping someone else resolve their problems is far greater. Hence the reason why Unity would be the perfect testing ground for the Flash apps.

So I would like to formally request a response to this suggestion by Boonex as I am sure that I am not the only one with a growing site wondering what the full potential of this software actually is. 

I think it's about time we found out...don't you?
