Your solution actually isn't any more efficient than what you had before, so I'd expect you'd see a similar performance issue.
The point of X-Accel-Redirect is that you do not have to open the file and read it in Python. Your view should return a simple Response object with no body, and just the appropriate headers (possibly content-type, as well as status_code). nginx will see that header and add the body to the response for you outside of Python, leaving your app free to service other requests while nginx handles the file I/O. If you're able to make these improvements and it works, I'd like to add this to the Pyramid cookbook. So hopefully either you can issue a pull request to the cookbook or just paste your changes here and I'll write it up. :-) -- Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
