At the moment I'm using fsnotify to watch file changes and restart the process immediately, so far it hasn't been too bad for live reloading. I'm hoping as long as precautions are taken to lazy load things on startup, then it would stay fairly quick.

15 years ago I created a web framework for newLISP. It even ran fast on a Nokia N900

Maybe you want to have a look at the code and get some inspiration.
