Server component
  * Uses perl ithreads instead of fork() in most cases
  * Requests are concurrent rather than queued
  * Holds a connection ready to send text for up to 3 minutes
  * Inactive connections closed by the server are left alive until their buffer is sent to a client (or 3 hours) 

Client
  * Starts new requests with no delay
  * Sends text with concurrent requests independent of receiving text
  * Uses the much more efficient appendChild() function to add text to the output window
