It was going strong when I submitted the link, albeit a bit slow, but I would guess the poor server is now taking quite a beating from being on the Hacker News front page.

Hackers love tiny web server devices.

Hackers are also great at overloading them.

IIRC, you got something like a 10%-20% speedup on the C64 by turning off the video. Wonder if this setup has support for that?

You would if you were Alanis Morissette. Otherwise, no.
