Well, two things helped me:
1) #!/usr/bin/env python -> #!/usr/bin/python
   saves about 200ms :)
2) find /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/quixote -type d |
   xargs chmod a+w

   Problem here is probably that setup.py (distutils) doesn't recognize
   .ptl files, and so they are never compiled.
Now I'm down to
              min  mean[+/-sd] median   max
Total:        344   435   82.4    421   766
for 100 requests (demo.cgi) (1 thread)
Compared to 1.8sec before :)

scaling your timings to 700MHz (assuming you also have an Duron), I'd
rather expect a mean of 300ms, but then I've got a laptop here.

One idea for faster startup might be generating a frozen python
specialized for quixote apps, so that the binary doesn't have to load
any additionaly modules from the filesystem.

Well, one important thing. Your demo is probably hosted under
/usr/lib/python*/site-packages/quixote/demo, not where your demo.cgi is.
