The intention is that both server and client would run on the same
hardware. I suppose that once PHP and MySQL are taken as a necessity,
that the type of web server to be used gives some opportunity here to
look for a lighter one which runs properly on the hardware. My
experience so far is that MySQL server places little demand on a system,
and the same applies to Apache. It is really the Javascript that runs in
a browser that places the demand on a system, and for that reason
Javascript is hardly going to be used. It's going to be HTML and CSS, so
that the software runs snappily. Teus.
