That was my suspicion, avoiding a pretty UI would make for a more reliable
service. The UI would be provided via the network from another machine so
it wouldn't matter if that fell over.

This would be a definite plus. Could i assume that as the compiled code is
not running under a jvm etc it would be more reliable ?
