TCP handshakes->HTTP parsing->Sleep->Response writing. Can the overhead added by these (and more) possibly produce 24+ million requests / sec on a commodity machine? Could you share some examples or snippets?

the way most python web apps work is they don't do the TCP handshake & http parsing, and leave that up to the front-end web server (nginx/apache/etc). Python only comes in via a fastcgi or wsgi proxy.
