Jim, did you see a significant performance increase with Xitami/LRWP? I don't
have numbers to post at the moment, but I found that a simple Hello, World app
written as an Python LRWP script did not perform noticeably better than a
similar app delivered via Quixote/Medusa (briefly tested with apachebench,
non-trivial number of requests over concurrent pipelined connections). It was a
single-headed server, mind you; Xitami/LWRP could perhaps have won on a
multiple-CPU machine.

This is totally anecdotal, of course, though I could certainly reproduce my
test & give some results. But really, I'm just interested in what your
experience was like.
