Anyone know about the performance of this stack vs Apache + mod_wsgi?

  I remember reading from Instagram blog that they found Gunicorn to be less CPU-intensive: We use http://gunicorn.org/ as our WSGI server; we used to use mod_wsgi and Apache, but found Gunicorn was much easier to configure, and less CPU-intensive. http://instagram-engineering.tumblr.com/post/13649370142/what-powers-instagram-hundreds-of-instances-dozens-of http://instagram-engineering.tumblr.com/post/13649370142/wha...

  In short - faster, easier on ram usage and easier to configure.

  Gunicorn generally takes up less ram and less CPU than Apache + mod_wsgi. I've also had some major mem leaks with apache that have never occurred while using Gunicorn, I believe it restarts a thread when it gets out of control.

  Nginx+n performs pretty well in general against Apache, and in my experience nginx as a front to something like uWSGI for Django is very easy to set up and use. There was a comparison of the various Nginx+n stacks, I think Nginx+uWSGI won out, with Gunicorn in a close second.
