just to add above, appriciate the other side of the argument, my shoutbox is used all the time, nearly every minute there is a new comment, more then that, conversations typically occur in the shoutbox for extensive periods. Maby at least 10 LARGE scale conversations a day lasting at least 30 minutes each. Point is, my shoutbox is being used by many members, all the time, that can be one difference.
