Thanks for the advice, but I already know how to optimize django apps (documentation covers this well), so I'm not seeking advice on this. Neither I'm willing to use Cherokee so I get a magic performance boost for my app alone (while it is indeed faster than Apache for serving static content).
Instead, I'm looking for advice from someone who already deployed Django with Cherokee.
