One problem of CGI even at very low loads is that it's harder to handle the case where two hits arrive at the same time and want to save data. You either have to mess around with file locking and waiting, or use an external database that handles concurrency (normally this means you end up with a persistent process anyway), or some other kludge. With a persistent server you can use SocketServer.ThreadingServer and ordinary python queues to communicate with a single thread that's in charge of the persistent data. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
