I typically add a config to apache to ignore my media folder and not
handle it with python so that requests to /media/.* all go straight to
the webserver and don't go via django. I typically have something like
this sitting in my conf's:

   <Location /media>
        SetHandler None
        Options -Indexes
    </Location>

I'd not bother doing that for the dev environment though unless you've
got your server setup already and its not much hassle.
