For the record, I just ran a quick benchmark against Apache and Twisted
(pure Python) using 'ab' (the Apache benchmark tool) and Twisted wins
hands down. Here are the results of ab -n 1000 and ab -n 10000 for each:

The Twisted-based server I set up is very basic, Apache uses the default
configuration as it came with my OS (MacOSX.2.3).
