I'm not sure where the bottleneck is for running ikiwiki over a site like
|
|
my blog
|
|
[Natalian](http://source.natalian-org.branchable.com/?p=source.git;),
|
|
though I like to think the markdown processing could be speeded up by the
|
|
support of the C implementation of Markdown called
|
|
[Sundown](https://github.com/tanoku/sundown).
|
|
|
|
>> Sundown doesn't appear to have Perl bindings, so the cost of calling a
|
|

|
|

|
|
