True. I was thinking of performance, but you're right: power efficiency is a measure as well, and the raspberry pi is very power efficient.

And idle power matters: a typical server in this kind of use is going to spend much of its time doing very little at all. (Except in my case fending off attempts to SPAM me or other malicious traffic!) It helps that I can set the RPi's clock to fall back a long way unless the CPU is busy.
