 # recipe for building an exe with nuitka (extreme jank edition)
-#
-# NOTE: win7 and win10 builds both work on win10 but
-#   on win7 they immediately c0000005 in kernelbase.dll
-#
-# first install python-3.6.8-amd64.exe
-#   [x] add to path
-#
+
+NOTE: copyparty runs SLOWER when compiled with nuitka;
+  just use copyparty-sfx.py and/or pyinstaller instead
+
+  ( the sfx and the pyinstaller EXEs are equally fast if you
+  have the latest jinja2 installed, but the older jinja that
+  comes bundled with the sfx is slightly faster yet )
+
+  roughly, copyparty-sfx.py is 6% faster than copyparty.exe
+  (win10-pyinstaller), and copyparty.exe is 10% faster than
+  nuitka, making copyparty-sfx.py 17% faster than nuitka
+
+NOTE: every time a nuitka-compiled copyparty.exe is launched,
+  it will show the windows firewall prompt since nuitka will
+  pick a new unique location in %TEMP% to unpack an exe into,
+  unlike pyinstaller which doesn't fork itself on startup...
+  might be fixable by configuring nuitka differently, idk
+
+NOTE: nuitka EXEs are larger than pyinstaller ones;
+  a minimal nuitka build of just the sfx (with its bundled
+  dependencies) was already the same size as the pyinstaller
+  copyparty.exe which also includes Mutagen and Pillow
+
+NOTE: nuitka takes a lot longer to build than pyinstaller
+  (due to actual compilation of course, but still)
+
+NOTE: binaries built with nuitka cannot run on windows7,
+  even when compiled with python 3.6 on windows 7 itself
+
+NOTE: `--python-flags=-m` is the magic sauce to
+  correctly compile `from .util import Daemon`
+  (which otherwise only explodes at runtime)
+
+NOTE: `--deployment` doesn't seem to affect performance
