So when I do a post, my server queues up jobs to tell every subscriber.

Suppose that makes sense. They all gotta hear about it. But it feels pretty inefficient.

Seems like it should be possible to do something like the Bittorrent protocol and fire off a dozen jobs to a selection of servers asking them to pass the message onwards.
