Dude, *stop it*. Seriously.
Independently of whether I personally think that mod_swgi is simply a
pile, I haven't joined its mailing list to give off about it and
promote Cherokee; have I? It'd be lame.
Let's face it. It is plain and simple: ignore the Apache+mod_wsgi
architectural madness for a second and make the real test. As I said,
you will see that it is a much faster solution - and of course, more
reliable and secure.
But again, I don't think you are seeking any sort of technical
discussion here; so cut the.. noise, please.
