Thanks, Ralph.  I do use persistent session data, but in this app I use 
a custom store, not LC Server's session handling. That's an interesting 
report, though, and I've added myself to the CC there.

This loading-fonts-unnecessarily issue seems to be more related to my 
circumstance:

I'll know more if I get a chance I put the funky-font-fix workaround in 
place, but TBH I'm more likely to just move the app to a VPS instead. 
So it'll be a question of making the time for a funky setup test, and 
while that might narrow down root causes it won't fix anything since 
it's unlikely to be addressed anytime soon:  two community members 
who've looked at the engine code believe IF-DEFing the font init would 
be prohibitively cumbersome given the imported subsystems that would 
need it (like Skia), and the core team has other priorities.

How certain are you the issue you're seeing is specific to sessions? 
I've skimmed your report but haven't tested it, so forgive me if this 
should be obvious, but have you found any other circumstances where file 
I/0 may be the trigger, rather than session storage specifically?

If your issue is session-specific, I got nothing.

If it may be general resource consumption (mostly memory), the 
funky-font-fix may do the trick.  But setting it up is not for the feint 
of heart.  If you're comfortable with bash I can provide instructions to 
try it.


Kinda sad. LC's chunk expressions make our beloved language a nearly 
ideal fit for so many server tasks.  General performance is more or less 
on par with Python and Ruby where CGI stuff has been a famously good 
fit- LC can do anything they can do, and with more readable code that's 
more enjoyable to write. But we need to tighten it up and bring down the 
resource consumption before I'll stake my reputation evangelizing it 
beyond the current community of LC diehards.
