You can bypass the xorg init by launching the standalone with -ui:
./standalone -ui
While still single-threaded in a technical sense, socket I/O appears to
have something almost like green threads when used with callbacks ("with
message"), e.g.
command broadcastServerStart
accept connections on port kPort \
with message "broadcastServerClientConnected"
end broadcastServerStart
While not a true thread, this appears to allow non-blocking behavior so
network I/O appears be handled separately for different connections,
though until I do more testing I can't say for sure exactly how
independent that is.
But the modest test I did some time ago on my cheap 1GB VPS had a LC
standalone acting as a socket server able to handle a surprisingly large
number of requests with little CPU time and RAM:
