i've had great experience with lots of messaging through sclang.  
we've been sending 90 arrays of 400 slots each every second which  
were then parsed by sclang, analyzed, interpreted and sent as grains  
to the server, all realtime with user interaction with the graphics.
we're using 3 machines though. graphics -> sclang -> server
but it proved that networking and messaging is indeed very powerful  
and efficient, but you need machines that can handle the stress of  
rendering it all...

 So it would be nice to get the info directly from sc server.

the other nice thing sclang gives you is a reliable middle level  
between the server and the graphics.
you create an array which gets sent to the graphics engine always on  
time regardless of which way it is acquired from the server
(as arrays or individually) making communication much more smooth  
with the graphics.
