I am developing a Django site on Webfaction servers. It will be low traffic but have quite a few Django apps. I'm using mod_wsgi in embedded more. When I save a new version of a .py file I restart the Apache server. This server only supports Django. In fact the static media Django needs are served by Webfactions main server.
I have read on this list and in the docs that one reason for using daemon mode is that it all you need to update the Pythin files being used is to 'touch' the wsgi script which will be faster than restarting the Apache server. In my set up this is not an issue - it takes about 3secs to restart the server. The only issue I face is memory usage - accounts on Webfaction have 40, 80, 120, 160Mb memory limits and it is possible to bump into these whereupon your process is bumped of and you get an admonition email telling you to fix things. So will daemon mode use more or less memory, and is the gain (if there is one) worth switching to the more complex daeomon set up?
