I suppose I should have said "process pooling" rather than process-oriented, because people do tend to think of CGI or intensive process creation/destruction when processes are mentioned. > My main concern about mod_python (and mod_perl, which I have > more experience with) is that they bloat up httpd processes considerably.

I haven't looked *that* deeply into mod_python, but I have also heard scary things about mod_perl. As for the thread vs. process situation, it seems to me that the main benefit of using threads is the reduced overhead in inter-thread communication and access to shared data, but I'm not entirely convinced that this is always going to be a dominant factor in Web applications.
