Right. I meant that it can happen quite often (every time) that situation
occurs, depending on the characteristics of the application.

I did it by implementing the communication protocol that I had proposed on

does take a lot of time to learn how mod_wsgi works in order to make the
change, especially if you have never written an Apache module before.
