Hello, i have my shoutbox online

http://mudsaf.info/shoutbox.php

Its currently refreshing with session that checks if latest shout has changed. (Really bad method). What method you would recommend for refreshing since i want to use less bandwith than refreshing the whole shoutbox everytime. So if you understanded anything i tried to explain.Shoutbox updates every 2 seconds and checks if latest message has been updated. Uses only bits of bandwith. When there is new shout it updates whole shoutbox data using about 20kb data.

Is this an AJAX application? I'd suggest having PHP send only send the usernames and messages without all the HTML and then have Javascript read the data and put it into the page the right way.
