This could get costly in terms of resources, and I now better understand your interest in the libevent extension. I'd be tempted to write custom C extensions for a web server like nginx, which naturally handles asynchronous IO. And, in this case, you could even make use of fast polling instead of long polling, due to the performance of nginx, such as demonstrated in the this example: http://amix.dk/blog/post/19414 And, don't worry about your English too much.
