Bastien,
I've been looking at the bugpile Worg page (very nice page - good work
Thorsten or whomever) and don't see why you say:

I understand that Emacs is a bit of a behemoth in terms of CPU when
being started and always in terms of memory. That being said, why does
it seem "wrong by design" to have Github running an Emacs server and
sending Org --> HTML jobs to it with emacsclient?
Just a head's up, once you answer the above question, I'm going to ask
you what can be done to fix the problem :-)
