Opening a zone the first time built its terrain, scene objects and manifests
and ran ImageMagick on the web thread, stalling the dashboard for seconds.
- Workers: the shared pool plus Workers::Reply (answer at once when built,
else from a worker via Web::Defer).
- terrain_chunks/terrain_layers/scene/paths/scenery/flairs (world3d, property
and showcase routes) and terrain textures go through it; results are built
once in OnceCaches, the .raw is read once per zone for chunks, layers and
flairs, deflated bodies are cached thread-safely.
- ImageMagick conversions are deduplicated and written under a temporary name.
- Workers don't query the CDClient, read settings or call mongoose: ZoneTable,
render components, flairs, object names, LOT kinds and terrain texture names
are read at startup; client_location is read once; base64 is plain C++.
- Logger writes one line at a time (mutex; localtime's buffer is shared).

- Leave staff out of the currency and U-score reports by excluding the few staff characters,
instead of joining every ledger row to its character and account.
- Top earners: total per character first and look up names for the top rows only.
- The places list and the activity report read map events for every kind in one query
(GetMapZonesAllKinds) instead of one query per kind.
With about 1M currency rows and 650k map event rows (90 days) on MariaDB: currency 1.8 s to
0.8 s, top earners 2.4 s to 0.75 s, places 2.6 s to 0.5 s, activity 2.6 s to 1.7 s.

The NexusDashboard-parity dashboard (dDashboardServer) and everything built on it on the experimental branch:
accounts, characters, properties and moderation tools, permissions shared with in-game slash commands, economy
reports, World 3D and property 3D views with client scenery, scheduled events (features, vanity changes, live
events, announcements, restarts), vanity files and events, the CDClient browser, the message inspector with saved
captures, chat filter tools, community challenges, live ops, the AI moderator helper, and the server-side changes
they need.
