For what it's worth, a while back I set up Mystic on a Pi Zero W to see how
it would perform. It did well, so a few days ago I moved my (currently under
development) BBS to it. All of the files in the Mystic home directory are on
the SD card, but all of the Mystic subdirectories are links to a network
drive. So far, so good.

Admittedly, it hasn't been load-tested with actual users but with respect to
message processing, I did request a full %RESCAN for all fsxNet message bases.
It took a couple of hours to process that many messages, but it did not
crash. The BBS was a little slower than usual during the message processing,
but was still usable by at least one user (me).

Jeff.
