OK - so from this description, superserver should handle it handsomely. One
connection, 250 updates every 5 minutes.. piece of cake for FB.
There must be some else happening..
you say multi threaded application. Are making sure you use a separate

You're kinda contradicting things here now... how many threads - so how many
connections?
