So I'm starting to write the blog entry I mentioned earlier in the  
thread, and what I understand is that:

1. We have a bug in the shared XMPP code which can lead to serious  
performance on some jabber servers and
2. We're investigating a fix which we hope to include in 1.3 (but not  
a 1.2.x release).

Does this sound about right?
