You neglected to read my post. I gave the comparison you wanted.
Recap: Every 5 minutes you have 100 people querying 100 lines from the server at 150 characters per line. Now imagine a channel with 100 people in it, and each person says 100 lines every 5 minutes. That's 2000 lines a minute, or 33 lines a second.
If you know of any channel that is talking at the rate of 33 lines per second, then I applaud your reading speed... but you still have to work on comprehension. I hope there's no further need to argue about this.
