My idea is to add option to messages conversation section called chat mode when selected conversation will get updated every second as apose to every 3rd second.
In other word simply increase ping to 1 sec.

Hi folks. Messages conversation gets updated every 3rd second. Users can chat but its a bit slow.

It does not seem like alot but for those with shared hosting that have to pay for IO (Input Output) 1 second means alot. It means that if their site is busy they will hit their limit sooner. I would only recommend doing this for those that have a DEDI server with root access.

Yes but there is a reason that the conversation is 3 seconds and the chat is 1 sec. It could be that way to allow time for the DB to update before getting the data, preventing what we call a race condition. In which a record is requested before it is updated. I dont know why they are different but i assume they had a reason to do that.

Ideally, the speed would vary from 0.1 to 5 seconds, starting at 0.1 and increasing the value if there is no response at that time.
In this way, abandoned open chats would not consume resources.
