For the moment a combination of both.  The final solution will almost
certainly be getting images from images.lwn.net or some such.

Neil asked why I'm using mod_python: mostly because I was more familiar
with it, and because I didn't want to throw in yet another server process
to handle every request.  I'm worried about performance.  Of course, the
FastCGI folks say their approach is faster.  I should really do some
testing, I guess...
