web2py comes with Rocket. I have experience with 1.89.* (the web2py before this week) and I can say the web server is very stable and secure (uses the python built-in ssl module). It is small and uses very little memory.
Tim, the author, can point you to some benchmarks compared to other web servers. I you take a brief look at the source code you will find it is very clean and modular compared to other ones. Since 1.90.1 we have a new version of Rocket. It is probably and improvement but we should perhaps test it a bit longer.
