I've been playing with websockets for awhile now and I don't think it
can make a difference for your provider. Real time web application are
really expensive to handle, each frame costs almost as much as
keepalive request, but you don't usually expect hundreds of requests
from each client every second. It's like streaming video by 100 bytes
at a time.

So, it has to be some kind of frame multiplexing over a single
connection with backend and even then it's still a lot to handle.
