That would cut down but not eliminate the problem. Network
latency can cause the repeat messages to still cause problems.
One approach would be for the server to send a heartbeat-
type message indicating that the last event is still
continuing (e.g., you're still praying). That would limit
the traffic to one event per, say, second. Until a new
message gets passed.
