I haven't played with Medusa and Quixote so take this advice with a
graiun of salt.  If you have a SMP server then the Medusa based
application will only use one CPU.  Also, if your application makes a
call that blocks then all clients accesssing the application are
blocked.  I think you can hook things into the async loop (I know
Twisted allows this) but it's something to watch out for.  The overhead
of SCGI vs. a HTTP proxy is probably similar.  SCGI is simpler so it's
probably a bit faster.
