I've got a parser already ... release 2 and it is a lot more efficient / modern than the one I wrote and released 4 years ago, and a tidge better than the one I wrote 2 years ago and released just the other day.

As for compilers, I know _nothing_ about writing a compiler, which is why I have suggested previously that I expect to need another 4 or more years before I can write one, unless help on that specific matter is forthcoming.

The thing is right, by the time I have reached that stage, a server with 32 processor cores, which can currently be had from here for $579 a month, will be peanuts!

My parser can currently supply about 30-50 requests a second depending on the complexity of the page, from a dual core laptop @ 1.83ghz. I'm not sure what the ghz speed of that server is, but assuming it runs at the same speed, that means that machine should be able to provide around 16x(30~50) = 480~800 requests per second, and at that speed, I think the bandwidth will run out prior to maxing the CPU out.

My sites are currently hosted on a $20 a month slice, using release 0.1.3 and the slice hasn't needed a rebooting for months. Infact I can't see any good reason to upgrade the server to 0.2.0 right now.

So all in all, the platform is stable, scalable enough given modern hardware for anything I am likely to do with it, and has been for some time... code beautification to try impress dusty old monks enough to help make it a proper compiled system worthy of CPAN not withstanding.
