The cutechat will cache the result of 'public override string[] ListUserUniqueName()' for 10 seconds .

 

I am sorry that there is no such option for 'max online user count' limitation currently .

 

And The CuteChat is really diffical to implement for Cluster System . (But we would try that for CuteChat2.0)

 

 

We recommend you deloy the chat application as chat1.yourserver.com chat2.yourserver.com .....

 

And you could adjust the configuration setting :

<cuteChat  UpdateMessageInterval="1000"  UpdateOnlineInterval="20000" />

 

May be set the UpdateMessageInterval to 5000 would helps a lot .

 

Hope this helps ..
