Hi, it seems I have to blame myself for misconfiguration of the filesystem permissions :-( ab now says 460 ms (single thread) in CGI mode. That's OK for development. However, there still is a discrepancy between 2 requests/s in my Duron 700 configuration and Mike's 12 requests/s ... Anyway, as fcgi/scgi/mod_python promise pretty good performance I will dig into quixote deeper. As I said before: I really like the quixote concept. Excellent work.
