I agree that the IRC channel is neglected. When I did benchmarks to
show that the bundled version of flup does not scale for multicore
machines and that the prefork version should be used, no one said
anything. When I mentioned it here, no one has bothered to do anything
about it. And this is still the case.

Whoever is controlling the current channel should relinquish command.
All the links do not work.

As a side note, mitsuhiko, the person that was in the channel, is
Armin Ronacher. He is known for making Jinja and Werkzeug (a
minimalist web framework along the lines of Pylons), that is probably
why he is trolling #web2py.
