There is nothing to experiment to with webfaction + uWSGI. After having installed uWSGI 1.0 (from mercurial and with python2.6) simply run it with uwsgi --wsgi-file web2py/wsgihandler.py -m --http-socket :PORT where PORT is the port assigned by webfaction. The -m flag report the memory usage after each request, and you can obviously add flags to automatically respawn instances based on memory usage. PAY ATTENTION: only the 1.0 branch of uWSGI is fully usable in webfaction without nginx or the --http option, and has support for their HTTPS proxy out of the box (thanks to the report of a web2py user in this list). Webfaction guys should really invest some time in uWSGI analysys, as it is built with their kind of services in mind.
