server load

I am using this plugin and it seems that each 3-4 seconds there is a connection with the database. So i was wondering if you have a lot of people online on the forum ( lets say 100 persons are logged in); how about the server load? that means within 3 seconds, there are are 100 requests fired to the server.
I really have no idea if that is much or not for a server to handle that. Is it much? too much? My website is stored on a normal shared hoster.

    I recommend loadung Van2Shout on a separate site instead running it on the startpage. There is some code snippets here on the forums on how to do that.

    Unfortunately, you are right about the requests. If you have a busy forum, than the shoutbox will generate quite some load on the webserver.
    The suggestion @phreak made will definitely decrease your load.
    Another way of dealing with it would be to enable the Firebase integration.
    This would stop the shoutbox requests to your server altogether.
