I do not think it is a web server issue as much as an issue with limited available resources. 9/10 of requests are for static pages. If you use apache+mod_wsgi these are served by apache (which is coded in C) and not by web2py (which is coded in Python). This means that 9/10 of http requests suddenly run 10 faster and reduce cpu usage. Massimo
