Questions: How often to receive / Server Push

[FAUSheppy]

Is it possible to set this up for receiving pushes on new messages instead of only polling?
How often can I call receive? Is there a rate limit on calling receive?

i.e. would it be acceptable/possible to receive every 5s to react to incoming messages quickly?

There's no rate limit on receive, as far as i know.

I think there are 2 efficient ways to receive messages:

1. run signal-cli daemon, then use it as a daemon
2. signal-cli receive --max-messages 1 --timeout 60

The second one is still operating in CLI style but it will return as soon as first message comes in.
