I doubt C++ would make slimserv that much faster. You still must have memory and I/O. You can always rewrite it in C++ ,-) I will install Slimserv + Linux on a Mini-IT with a 600Mhz processor (VIA CL series motherboard) and 256 MB of memory. I doubt it will be slow since the slimserv database should fit into memory and the I/O is not so bad with a ATA/133 2.5" harddrive. I also have a energy measure thing so I can check how much power it uses.
