CometAnywhere's bandwidth is very small. the data overhead of a packet is on the order of less than 10 bytes for each packet. Packets are encrypted and compressed and aggregated for the best performance.
But Bandwidth is not the whole story. You also want to consider latency.
Latency is the time to turn around a prompt and its response. Whereas bandwidth only considers how fast data can be crammed into the pipe, latency depends on the distance between the sender of a packet and the responder. The measure of latency is turnaround time. Windows apps or browser apps when written correctly, are far less interactive than text based apps.
Of course latency virtually disappears within a local area network.
Speaking about performance, check out the site below... Google just released some very good guidelines about web apps here:
Each file can be a maximum of 1MB in length Uploaded files will be purged from the server on a regular basis.
