Android Question ? about GCM framework - multicast messages?

I have been working on a B4A project that uses the GCM framework.

I am using the GCM sending tool (and server script) that Erel provided here.

Erel's tool works great for sending messages to a small amount of users.

However, I am not sure how well it will work to send a time-sensitive message to (let's say) a thousand or so users?

I suppose I could run many instances of the sending tool at the same time, but I don't know how well that would work, might be too resource intensive?

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has implemented a sending tool that is capable of sending a multicast GCM message?

I suppose I could try to cobble something together myself, but I thought I would check here first, since I do not know Java.

Thanks for your thoughts/help!

PS. I also want to say thanks to all (especially Erel) for the huge amount of code and examples on this site, it has been invaluable in helping me get a quick start with B4A!
