the mod_python module runs Django (or any python code) in the same process than the rest of apache. that means that any apache thread would do both static files _and_ Djando apps, therefore any internal caching done by Apache impacts negatively on the python space, and viceversa. It's better to have some threads dedicated to static files, and others to app processing. using any out-of-sever-space strategy (two webservers, FastCGI, mod_wsgi in daemon mode, etc) achieves that. -- Javier
