Hmm, I am trying to solve problem with my Webware application. It's
behavior is strange. It works quite good.... but sometime it hangs for
several seconds and I do not why. I changed max. nr of concurent
servlets from 20 to 100 but it did not helped? :( I am finding
solution so I check the problem from different points of view.

But PHP is still faster, isn't it? MMCache can speed up PHP to 10x.
But the real problem is as I wrote abowe. My Webware&Cheetah
application hangs for several seconds. It appears from time to time.
It is confusing.

Where can I find binary version?

I am using mod_webkit.dll which is even faster than mod_python
acordint to manual:
http://webware.sourceforge.net/Webware-0.8.1/WebKit/Docs/InstallGuide.html#mod-python

I wish to say it.
