I just moved to Dreamhost so I can start to work with Django as my
previous host wouldn't support it.  I'd be curious to know if the
general concensus is that the speed difference is a  "fcgi vs flup"
issue, or if there could be other factors at play.  E.g.:

- Maybe the Dreamhost servers are more loaded and host more domains?

- I know at Dreamhost, the MySQL servers seem to be on a different
machine whereas at my previous host, it was on the same server as the
website.  Doing "localhost" DB access would always be faster than
across a network.  I don't know how ASO is organized.

I checked both of your sites and ASO is markedly faster.
