I find Python ASP to be somewhat faster than Python CGI (at least under
personal web server), as the interpreter startup time appears to dominate
performance on the short CGIs I have so far written.

However, neither of them hold a candle to Xitami's LRWP (log-running web
processes), which run like shit off the prverbial shovel, having done all
their database connection and initialization stuff before the web server
ever asks them to produce a line of HTML.

Next step will be to benchmark Xitami + LRWP against Apache + FastCGI.
