polling

I am planning on writing a small browser game.

The webserver is a shared server, with no root / install possible.

I want to use AJAX for client/server communication. There will be 12 players.

So each player would be polling the server for the current game status every X milliseconds (let's say 200ms). So that would be 200ms x 12 players x 5 = 60 requests per second

Can Apache handle those requests?

What might be the bottlenecks when using this attempt?
