I get 100 req/s on my 750 Mhz Athon box using FastCGI. On a dual 1 Ghz Xeon machine I can get 300 req/s. It seems like FastCGI and mod_python are comparable in performance. Regarding mod_python, can it start more than one Python process to handle requests in parallel? Also, what happens if the Python process dies? Does mod_python restart it? Neil
