Hi William It will live quiet happily with php and mysql and should not cause any problems.
I remember reading (think it was a forum post Richard commented on) where there was a question re: cgi vs fast cgi (with fast cgi there is only a single process so it speeds up execution) He mentioned the disadvantages of running Fast CGI - if there is a problem and the process gets blocked, it can kill it for everything on the server, where the LiveCode CGI is pretty small and executes very quickly and should handle a relatively large load. I am not certain if there are plans to port LiveCode Server to fast cgi. I have not come across any benchmarks comparing LCServer to the likes of php - that would be an interesting experiment to see what the capabilities of it is. Something I want to look at (not had a chance yet) is to setup a vps running the hiawatha webserver (hiawatha-webserver.org). It is smaller than apache and should run faster as its designed for older servers. That combined with something like maria db instead of mysql should let you get quiet a bit out of a small server.
