Maybe you're moving the goalposts - the OP took down their very popular, high use open source project that they use as a metering tool because the overhead was too high.

Yes, obviously, it is essentially no effort to just tar a folder and put it on the internet if you do literally nothing else and don't care at all what happens next.
