Key Takeaways:
- WebSocket reduces RTT by 52% compared to long-polling on mobile networks
- WebSocket reduces per-connection memory by 73% (critical for 10K+ concurrent games)
- Delta compression (covered next) reduces message size by 95%, benefiting both transports
- Long-polling is only acceptable as a fallback when WebSocket is blocked by corporate proxies
