Yes, Jabber uses XML, but it doesnt force you to use it on
your game. The
message can have the form
<msg>["troy",50,50,101]</msg>.
The lib mentioned in another thread is a great place to
start. However it
uses a lingo based "XML Parser", which is
1)Slow
2)It has a bug that hangs the application when a truncated
message is
received.
We had evaluated all the options and we selected the Flash
XML object as a
parser for the received XML. It's not the paradise, but it
works good and it
was easy to integrate in the existing lib.

I think the only way is to test it. When Flashcomm was new I
compared it to
MUS and found it was much slower, especially for more action
paced games.
For chat it's probably OK.
Regarding the flash objects they use XML. Take a look at
this:
"<root><name>Troy</name><loc>50
,50</loc><shirt>101</shirt>"
And compare it to this:
["Troy", 50, 50, 101]
