gollark: ... what?
gollark: Definitely. Not that those are contradictory.
gollark: It's probably best to just write it without much time spent trying to eke out maximum performance.
gollark: My site runs on an old tower server and is at 1% CPU almost all the time. The biggest CPU load is just the monitoring software gathering a few hundred metrics for graphs.
gollark: That would take much more work, and individual computers are very fast.
