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. Anyone intrested in some
numbers?
