expert advice needed on realtime events in ruby on rails application?

[rubybox]

In my app I have the need to be able to have "realtime actions"

• be able to redirect a user to location X on time Y
• be able to send data from resque like a jquery function

Im currently using

• resque for running background deamon that can execute on Time Y anything
• faye to listen to a channel ( web sockets ) for any data received then with jquery redirect or show or hide a div.

The problem with this setup is:

• sluggish ( it takes several seconds for the communication to go true resque and then arrive the client
• not solid enough ( if user reloads browser at moment Y the data stream is not received and it breaks )

What methods techniques I would have beside resque and faye to make this:

• Client polling/pulling? ( would not scale good ?)
• Solid, even if user reloads straight away it would resend the data or trigger an action
• Make it more faster and in realtime response

Basically I need to know what options I have to have realtime events in ruby on rails and if there are any better ways techniques to do this beside the ones stated above, anyone knows? thx in advanche!

Anyone has done any ruby on rails app with realtime events? Opensource projects that do realtime events to take a look at and learn?

This on-line game of go by Ryan Bates uses a background process to
compute moves when playing against the computer.

It uses Resque
