Are WebSockets faster than AJAX? ...with latency in mind? - Peterbe.com - 0 views

Laurent Paoletti on 22 Apr 12The advantage with WebSockets (over AJAX) is basically that there's less HTTP overhead. Once the connection has been established, all future message passing is over a socket rather than new HTTP request/response calls. So, you'd assume that WebSockets can send and receive much more messages per unit time.
