Edit: Rather than fighting with escaping code in HN, here are scripts to setup symfony and tornado examples: http://gist.github.com/275785 http://gist.github.com/275785 The symfony one requires some more loving to the apache setup which is well documented (http://www.symfony-project.org/getting-started/1_4/en/05-Web-Server-Configuration http://www.symfony-project.org/getting-started/1_4/en/05-Web...). The script suggests the frontend_dev.php to make sure things are set up right but for actual performance benchmarking you'll have to tweak your apache.
