I know that serving static files isn't recommended, but for various reasons people do it sometimes anyway. I had a little poke around in the code and noticed that for mod_python at least it's pretty easy to improve the performance from the current situation. I simply subclassed HttpResponse to make an HttpFileResponse object, having a file attribute, which I just set to a file name, rather than setting the contents of an HttpResponse object from a read of the file. In ModPythonHandler I just used req.sendfile rather than req.write for responses of this type. On my system some simple benchmarking with ab suggests that it's rougly twice as fast doing it this way, although no doubt the exact difference will vary depending on lots of things. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
