Just for fun. I have put Typo3 3.6rc1 on a 0.10 cent/month webspace with
max. 30 mb diskspace and 1 mysql database. I have tried to strip off
anything "unecessary" and now 3.6rc1 takes only about 28 MB Diskspace.
Filespace is much lesser, but because of the many 1 kb image files and the
big cluster-size of the server I got this overhead. I cheated a bit and drop
some of the BE images. Image Magick seems to work too but without pdf and ai
support. I thought of "disk-space optimizing" all php-files, and killed all
\r\n in the files, but I won only 600-800 kb, so it was not successful. What
about putting all images in mysql? That way diskspace would be decrease
much. And you could make a nice BE Skin Editor out of it.
