It would be good to eventually see some comparisons running some average/unoptimized code. IME benchmarks seem to focus on either the very basics, or select areas where they are faster than other apps. This is important to cover, but having something that's closer to a real app is more convincing, even if the performance margins drop somewhat.

To come back to the average code. I may start an app and try to optimize things as much as reasonable. Eventually, I'm only able to focus on the functionality and a slide in performance can happen. As more developers are added, this can happen more quickly in the average organization that focuses primarily on functionality. Of course, we should analyze the perf problems and improve the code, but projects like yours may offer a huge perf boost for teams that are struggling here.

I love Python, but I've always enjoyed that bit more scope that the .NET platform provided around performance when code was less optimal. If you can really speed up WSGI this much it'll be a huge boon.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, some more "real world" benchmarks should be added.

And yes, if you have some application that you've tried to optimize somewhat and haven't managed to get the desired performance you would like, or if you simply haven't had the time to re-write components to be faster, ideally you could use FastWSGI as a drop in replacement for your current WSGI server and get the extra perf boost for "free". It's still in early development, but this is ultimately one of the main goals of the project.
