Comment(by feynman):
I introduced caching and garbage collection into the protocol. Now hexchat
will throttle, cache, and empty caches when too much data is stored. This
is still not enough to consistently watch youtube videos, but it makes the
whole system more consistent in its performance and it does a much better
job of delivering data--at least when Google is not dropping too many IQ
packets.
I am trying to think of other ways of dealing with lots of dropped
packets. I have delivery confirmation in place, and I might implement a
timer that disconnects a socket when it goes a certain amount of time
without receiving confirmation that its packets are being delivered.
