It sure is Server Push, but I don't know about it being "efficient". It
really messes up when you're using proxies.

Wouldn't it make more sense to upload an animated GIF the same way, feeding
the frames you want to display, then when it's viewed a second time on a
system with a proxy server it'll look the same. The technology would be a
little hairier (you'd have to generate an animated GIF on the fly... I
don't know how well GIF adapts to streaming... PNG might be better) but
the result would be a lot cleaner.
