I'm using my Raspberry Pi 2 Model B as a small and super simple LAMP development server. However it is on the edge of acceptable performance, especially when it comes to bulk copying or handling large MySQL databases.
The set-up:
- The Pi has no display attached
- I access the device via SSH and WinSCP
- I changed the GUI boot behavior via
raspi-config
to command line only
What makes me curious is that whenever I connect to the Pi via the Windows Remote Control tool I still get a GUI.
Therefore I'm wondering whether if there are any negative performance implications or if Raspbian does not load the GUI until explicitly requested from the remote control tool.
If there are negative implications, what configurations should I change? (PS: I like to have a GUI from time to time but I could do without it.)
