Is that right? OK then, I'll use it instead. It's just that on the
'HelpOnInstalling' page the Twisted option was listed in the 'High performance
public wiki' section (whereas standalone was not), which lead me to believe
Twisted was faster than standalone.

That was one of the advantage is saw though with using the direct download
option, especially on a slow dial-up link. Because Apache and Twisted both
return HTTP 304 if the version in the browser's cache is not older than what is
the wiki site, the user can save some bandwidth when downloading a page with
lots of images.
