Disable auto updating cloud vars when there aren't any
so i opened the web console while browsing the project editor in scratch2.
turns out the page sends messages two times a second just to realize there aren't any cloud vars in the project. clever, ST 
so i just suggest you disable it when you get a {"vars":[],"lists":[]} answer 
(and maybe give an option for people that pay for each MB to disable auto-update)

Yeah, if there aren't any cloud variables, it shouldn't check for them.

Or maybe, if a cloud variable is updated, it should send a message to the server, which sends a message to all the projects using it so the project doesn't have to check all the time.

Good point. That's exactly how it works when Scratch can open a connection to the server. The HTTP method is the fallback when (as often happens) a firewall prevents Scratch from opening a connection to the cloud data port number. (roijac's firewall must be blocking that port).
