Disclaimer: I know little about BOSH protocol, its ejabberd implementation,
or how to improve its performance.

You have:
1. BOSH client: ...
2. HTTP server: Nginx
3. BOSH service: ejabberd_http_bind inside ejabberd
4. XMPP server: ejabberd

If you ran out of ideas for improvements in those programs,
you can experiment with others:

2.b. Use mod_http_fileserver, maybe it has better performance
http://www.ejabberd.im/jwchat-localserver

3.b. Use Punjab or other external BOSH service, maybe it has better performance.


If you try anything of this, probably other administrators (in the
future) will be
happy if you share your results: what give you better performance, and worse?
