FYI, I recently started to look into the topic XMPP as well. I want to 
use the Presence API of ECF to communicate with nodes in a cluster. 
Basically there would be up/down and state messages. In a second step I 
might also use it to send control messages to the nodes.

I don't have any practical experience with XMPP servers yet. But I found 
an interesting article about an Open Source server. They simulated 150k 
active connections with a throughput of 10k packets per second on a 
single dual-core server.
