Quick Django Benching. Django under Apache/mod_python outperforms nginx/FastCGI and LightTPD/FastCGI once you ramp up the concurrency levels. My setup for this site (Apache/mod_python behind an nginx proxy, with nginx handling static files) should give the best of both worlds.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about these benchmarks lately...
He used prefork FCGI:
./manage.py runfcgi maxchildren=10 maxspare=5 minspare=2 method=prefork socket=/var/myapp.socket pidfile=/var/myapp.pidI would like to see the same benchmarks with FCGI started more something like this (without the voodoo max and min settings and in threaded mode):
manage.py runfcgi method=threaded host=$HOST port=$PORT pidfile=$SITE.pid
