By "the image" I assume you mean the SqueakSource server image. But opening the file takes very little time. Original web-sites were .html files, remember how fast those were? Plus, filesystems "cache" file contents into their own internal caches anyway...
Yes, it still has to return back through alan but I assume alan does not wait for a "full download" received from andreas before its already pipeing back to the Squeak client. If true, then it seems like it only amounts to saving one hop, which would hardly be noticeable over what we have now.
No, the difference is actually orders of magnitude. Believe us. W.r.t. file handling nginx is blazing fast and squeak a snail. -t
