    Disclaimer: I am not a Web or Python programmer, and I'm basing the
    following suggestion on talks with people who are, and on small tests I
    have done myself :)
    
    Maybe you should look at working in a COMET-like fashion (
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_%28programming%29), which should give
    you better responsiveness. Since this is a MUD, the expected number of
    connections should be relatively small, so there shouldn't be much of a
    scaling problem. AFAIK you'll need a COMET-enabled HTTP service
    infrastructure, since it works by keeping a connection open by
    drip-feeding it keepalives.
    
    I don't know what's available on the Python front, but there's at least
    one stable Java project that's been in production use for a while. And
    I'll plug my favourite environment, Erlang ( www.erlang.org,
    yaws.hyber.org) :)
