Depending on your type of traffic, a server may be network bound long before it's CPU bound, so compiling doesn't really help much. Millions of hits per day isn't a big deal, BTW. At the company I work for we have a Python server that easily handles 200 req/sec on sub-1GHz Intel boxes. At constant load that's about 20 million per day. While not as fast as Apache, it's far higher performance than we or many other sites need. -Dave
