I've never benchmarked against jabberd2. The last time I personally
used jabberd2 it was known to have a memory leak, so I don't really
have any experience to go on either. I left it primarily because it
didn't have the features I wanted, or the hope of getting them in the
near future.

In general though Prosody has very nice resource usage. I like to
think things like string interning gives us an advantage over other
servers. The only sore point we've had has been with OpenSSL (and
partly LuaSec/LuaSocket's static per-connection buffers). With OpenSSL
1.0.0 and LuaSec 0.4.1 you should see something along the lower lines
here: http://ayena.de/files/prosody_memory-0.8rc1.png (the patches in
what is labeled "our LuaSec" are now in LuaSec 0.4.1).

Yes, though from what I know of pyicq-t you may want to consider
moving to http://spectrum.im/ . My attempts at binding libpurple to
Lua failed spectacularly :)
