Straight off the bat (although I've never used webfaction and don't
know what degree of freedom you have regarding server software),
Apache does use more memory than most of the servers, and
lighty+Bjoern[1] is a very good combo to reclaim some of it. Your app
might still be manipulating large chunks of data, and this solution
might not help.

Bjoern is written in C, though, so you would need to have all build
tools on your server, and allow it to be compiled. Other than that,
it's fairly straightforward to setup and use, and it's installed with
`pip install bjoern`. Very fast, too.
