If your static content is served directly by Web server, I'd recommend to remove Cascade middleware from WSGI chain of your Pylons application. I doubt that switching to Nginx would make any difference for dynamic content. And I would even argue on whether Nginx is any better than Lighty in serving Pylons application, unless your server's OS is Mac OS X or FreeBSD ;-) > Also, is the fact that I'm only running a single paster process a > problem?

You can try to use both threads and multi-process if you start few app instances in threaded mode bound to different ports and configure Lighty/Nginx to do a load-balancing. Like others said, most Web applications' bottleneck is database and not problems between fronend and backend.
