What about using tornado as wsgi server behind nginx? I made some improvements to the management command published at http://geekscrap.com/2010/02/integrate-tornado-in-django/
You can check the code and sample project here: http://github.com/darkrho/django-on-tornado May not be heavy production tested but could use less cpu and memory. I made an unscientific comparison on a low end p4 with a simple return HttpResponse("hello world") : - django's runserver: ~280 reqs/sec - django on cherrypy ~320 reqs/sec - django on tornado ~380 reqs/sec YMMV. I will move my projects on webfaction from apache+mod_wsgi to tornado with supervisord. Somebody else thinks that django on tornado could be a winning combination?
