Luis i did use the web2py auto config script to try out apache with
WSGI.
I too noticed that apache seems to hog memory (as compared to
cherokee). I think Cherokee is a great web server as its documentation
is really good.
I will surely document how i set up Cherokee + WSGI + web2py and post
it here or on the web2py wiki.
i was seeing a total memory consumption of under 150MB with Cherokee,
WSGI and web2py (4 WSGI processes)
i have done this on my work machine (running turnkey Linux (based on
Ubuntu 10.04) in a virtualbox). i will document and post what i have
done on Monday (14th feb 2010)
