Don't underestimate director. Though lingo, as a scripting
language, may not
be the fastest thing on the planet, director and it's Xtras
are c++ compiled
code. So, long as the Xtra is proprly designed, Director, can
handle in the
background anything an enterprise server can.
Keep in mind that handling a socket's i/o is often ligher
than printing a
word on the screen - much less for the cpu to do.
Btw, MUS is slower than director - it's lingo engine comes
from dir8, I
believe, and in dir 8.5 several speed improvements were
introduced.
Now, for the admin movie in particular, you have just one
socket connected,
so, just one data stream.

It's not an mu Xtra. It is, amongst many other things, a
socket Xtra. You
can create any kind of tcp/udp/raw server you wish with it.
And, since the
Xtra also supports the mu protocol, one of them can be an mu
server.

and we are talking about thousands or even tens of thousands
connections.
you can have a look at:

http://xtrema.rtr.gr/beta/xProxy.zip
to get an idea.
