Hi-tech webserver platfrom unveiled! Seriously though, a webserver running on a Commodore 64... what will people think of next?

Slow? Attack of the Mutant Camels was slow loading off a tape drive on the C64 but they used something they called something like "Speed-loading" for Revenge of the Mutant Camels. Why don't they do that? I mean, apart from it being run-length encoding with a fancy name, why don't they do that?

If it was running on a Sinclair ZX-81, then I'd be impressed!
