That's a lot faster machine than the ones I play with. My fastest retro
machine is an 8-bit unit with a 10 MHz processor and 4 MB of memory,
with a 10 Mbps ethernet card. And the ethernet is underutilized because
the bus speed of the computer is too slow to come anywhere close to
saturating the bandwidth available. :)
Candidly, and not because I still run such a site, I've always found
Gopher to be a better fit for resource-constrained computing. The
Commodore 128 sitting next to me does very well for that because the
protocol and menu parsing conventions are incredibly trivial.
What is your 10MHz 8-bit system?
