minor bug fixes.
known stutter bug in database/meta systems
appears to be the delay in connecting to the database.
future work:
1. intergrate firefly.dll as server module.
2. ensure full database funcctionality.
3. add toggle to use database or not. (by default we check for firefly if we don't find we default to python systems. if found we automatically use firefly.(so maybe on toggles))
4. investigate and fix the stutter bug.
