The Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) currently uses a polling model, where miners request new work from a pool at intervals using getmemorypool. It has been suggested that a version of the API supporting long polling could be specified to improve performance. Additionally, BitcoinJS supports JSON-RPC over TCP and there is interest in a "push" API, such as C->S "listenmemorypool" and S->C "updatememorypool" for continual updates. Luke-Jr has requested feedback on this proposal, which can be found on the Bitcoin Wiki.
