I have been using G-WAN for about a year. If anyone has specific questions regarding it, I will try to answer them.

Generally speaking, are the performance claims legitimate?
- ers35 14y ago
  The author of G-WAN provides a benchmarking script[1] you can use to test the claims for yourself. [1]http://gwan.ch/benchmark http://gwan.ch/benchmark I have tested the claims and find them to be legitimate. If you have a more specific question, I may be able to provide more details.

Why did you choose it over more conventional fare?
- ers35 14y ago
  Here are a few reasons: * A small, yet useful set of core APIs (http://gwan.ch/api) * Applications are recompiled on the fly when a change is made * A "no compromises" attitude to performance and software design * It supports legacy applications written in CGI-style without the cost of CGI See this article for an interview with the author of the project[1] [1]http://salem-news.com/print/19923 http://salem-news.com/print/19923

As I'm trying to wade through the manual currently... how does the apparently built in (and perhaps un-configurable?) JS/CSS and auto-spriting/data-uriing work?

  Those features activate automatically in daemon mode. The manual explains it on page 7. Can you be more specific with your question? Perhaps these forum threads will help.[1][2] [1]http://forum.gwan.com/index.php?p=/discussion/393/how-to-disabled-automatic-minifiying-javascript-anf-css/p1 http://forum.gwan.com/index.php?p=/discussion/393/how-to-dis...

    Ah, didn't notice the daemon mode only notice. But I suppose I also just wonder if it does the job well? I suppose you only notice once something goes wrong. It just strikes me as a strange thing to be in a server core, but the more I read the more this appears to really be a highly opinionated framework with server-y guts.
