    It isn't slow when loaded in RAM. But we don't want to keep it loaded in RAM, because paying for hosting with a lot of RAM is more expensive.

Yeah, I can see that. If it's no secret, how much RAM you would've needed to run Hubski RAM-side full-time at the moment and how big is an average post?

You say "HDD", and I immediately think of SSD. It's no RAM, but it's much faster nevertheless. More expensive, too. Have you considered SSD? I do see that it's better to use faster software than buy faster hardware, but still. Would using SSD instead of HDD make that big of a difference, even?

Do you see any of the possible programmatical constructions you've mentioned being used as a base for Hubski some time later?
