node-apn benchmark

apn-bench.js

var apn = require('apn');

var token = "<token here>";

var service = new apn.connection({
    maxConnections: 1
});

service.on("completed",         function()    { console.log("Completed!")});
service.on("connected",         function()    { console.log("Connected"); });
service.on('disconnected',      function()    { console.log("Disconnected", arguments); });
service.on('error',             function(err) { console.log("Standard error", err); });
service.on('socketError',       function(err) { console.log("Socket error", err.message); });
service.on('timeout',           function()    { console.log("Timeout"); });
service.on('transmissionError', function(err) { console.log("Transmission Error", err); });

var total = 0;

service.on("transmitted", function(notification) {
    if(total === 0) {
        console.time("notifications");
    }
    if(total === count - 1) {
        console.timeEnd("notifications");
    }
    total++;
});

var count = 10000;

var note = new apn.notification();
for (i=0; i < count; i++) {
    note.badge = 1;
    service.pushNotification(note, token);
}
service.shutdown();

So is it OK to send high volume notifications to a SINGLE REAL device token for testing? and Apple only pushes some of them to the phone? or does the device melts?
