Here's a potentially quick CPU and RAM reduction opportunity for LC Server:
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14115
With a CGI like LiveCode, it's launched with each request.
Depending on the system, up to 3/4 of the boot sequence is loading and
initializing fonts.
I appreciate that LC Server now has the ability to generate custom
graphics, some of which may need to specify fonts. But I'd wager than
less than 0.1% of scripts written for LC Server do that.
Comment #5 there suggests maybe adding a -f flag in the command line
call we add to our .htaccess files to bypass the font init almost no one
is using.
If we could get approval for that, we could probably find someone in the
community to add the parsing of that flag from the input options and the
IF statement before the font init.
By itself it won't make the scripts themselves faster. But it'll make
the engine init faster, and much leaner since it won't have the font
info in memory.
On Dreamhost, for example, running LC Server is unpredictable because of
its memory requirements and the full suite of fonts they have on their
systems.
