If you want to roll your own chat clients now there's XML you can easily get your hands on to get all the information you need.
As for the other two I wouldn't suggest grabbing the regular messages more often than once every 10 seconds and private messages more than once every minute.
- http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=chatterbox+xml+ticker displays all current public messages
- http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=private+message+xml+ticker
- http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=other+users+xml+ticker

We'll set those arbitrary guidelines for now and see if that lightens our server load a bit.
