lower server memory usage

[goto-bus-stop]

it takes about 100MB RSS right now? it seems like a lot for what it does. and it's a lot for being hosted on a small shared server with several other projects.

there's a few things to try:

• run it with bun?
• swap out some dependencies?
• rewrite it in go or rust...
  • go is probably more appropriate, but rust would be easier for me :)

erm, okay, locally bun and deno take like 2×.

sodium WASM takes up many megabytes in node.js.
that would be more efficient in a compiled language that doesn't keep a copy of the source text around and includes only required functions.

ah, in the past i was also considering putting it on a platform like cloudflare workers, which would move the problem away from my small vps : )
it might still be the easiest thing to do.
