Dropbox uses a similar toolbox as https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/master/s...

And yes, much of the overhead stems from the RPC server that needs to be implemented. For lepton we used a raw TCP server (a simple fork/exec server) to answer compression requests. For Lepton we would establish a connection and send a raw file on the socket and await the compressed file on the same socket. A strict SECCOMP filter was used for lepton. It was nice to avoid this for broccoli since it was implemented in the safe subset of rust.
