mod-python

My memory usage increases over time and restarting Django is not kind to users. I am unsure how to go about profiling the memory usage but some tips on how to start measuring would be useful. I have a feeling that there are some simple steps that could produce big gains. Ensuring 'debug' is set to 'False' is an obvious biggie. Can anyone suggest others? How much improvement would caching on low-traffic sites? In this case I'm running under Apache 2.x with mod_python. I've heard mod_wsgi is a bit leaner but it would be tricky to switch at this stage unless I know the gains would be significant.

I'm just wondering what the differences and advantages are for the different CGI's out there. Which one would be best for python scripts, and how would I tell the script what to use? pyfunc A part answer to your question, including scgi. What's the difference between scgi and wsgi? Is there a speed difference between WSGI and FCGI? How Python web frameworks, WSGI and CGI fit together CGI vs FCGI Lazy and not writing it on my own. From the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FastCGI Instead of creating a new process for each request, FastCGI uses persistent processes to handle such requests
