Comment(by feynman):

 I played around with storing message buffers in sqlite databases to save
 ram, but it turned out the database files never went over 1Mb.

 However, I decided to stick with using a separate thread to check a buffer
 for incoming messages. This is slightly more efficient than spawning a new
 thread every time data could be written (i.e. the old way).

 I also fixed a potential problem with the way the program checks a buffer
 for data to send over the chat server.

 All in all, I have some minor changes in the git repository that might
 help scalability.
