I see where I was confused; I looked at the actual code itself, not the example where tornado was living and being used.

What are the advantages of this over normal AJAX requests, given that it's all using the single request, single response mode of operation (and you can compress/cache AJAX requests/responses, which websockets doesn't support yet).

Seems like advantage is skipping network roundtrip to/from client browser. But still seems expensive in terms of cycles.
