I don't think he meant the speed of the adapter per se, but rather the
overall impact of using Tux instead of Apache. Tux is supposed to be
faster and resource-lighter for static files, which could make a
difference on high-traffic sites.
But the main issue is, if somebody wants to use Tux *for whatever reason*,
they'll need a Tux-compatible adapter, and it would be nice if Webware
came with one. Or maybe we'll find the CGI adapter can be used as is,
and we can just add a note to the documentation.
Following is my previous message, which I posted to webware-discuss
instead of webware-devel, oops.

There's not a pre-made adapter unless somebody has been working on one
silently, but that's a sweet idea.
Hmm, "Regular user-space web servers do not need to be altered in any
way for TUX to coordinate with them. However, user-space code has to use
a new interface based on the tux(2) system call."

I guess you'd need a daemon that forwards requests from _ to the
AppServer. Perhaps it could be implemented as a Python wrapper around
the AppServer in the same process. For quick results, you could also
use the CGI adapter, but of course performance would be much less.
You may want to investigate the proposed Webware reorganizations also.
Tavis' is at http://calrudd.com/Webware-experimental_redesign.tar.gz .
There's another one also, and Chuck also has some ideas up his sleeve
he hasn't implemented yet. You might find it's easier to integrate
Tux with one of these versions, and if so, that's good information for
the rest of us to know as we decide which sets of changes to adopt.
