Forgot to mention that I think that the chat system should be a service or series of services that probably keep the state of the chat room via db back end (using suitable amount of on memory cache). Then there would be the still alive poll page that would only signal the service that user is still there, then a page where the actual chat would be. The chat page could be also broken to smaller chunks to improve performance. (One page could supply the contents of currently active chat members etc, and the other could supply the incoming / outgoing messages.)
Haven't done anything like that, but that would be the path that I would take.
