I've been working on a similar project lately which also uses the gorilla/websocket library. I just tested connecting 1500 connections in parallel like was done in this link for Raspchat, and my application only uses 75 MB along with all other overhead within it. I'm not sure how this would cause a Raspberry Pi with 512MB memory to thrash and come to a crawl unless Raspchat has a ton of other overhead outside of connection management.
