Web content caching is the most effective type of cache. This way your python handler is not executed to determine a valid response to user, instead one returned from cache. Since the operation is that simple, it should be the maximum possible speed your `real world` application capable to provide.
The web content caching benchmark is provided for two types of caching: memory and distributed. There is payed attention how gzip transform impact throughput of cached content.
