[Twisted-Python] http server performance

[Matthew Glubb]

I am not aware of the scope of your project, or on your experience  
with C but if you are looking for high performance based on an  
ascynchronous events you might do well to take a look at the lighttpd  
web server. In the past I have had a lot of success, hacking lighttpd  
modules (such as the proxy module) for my own particular needs. The  
code base is small and easy to comprehend when compared to the  
monolith that is apache.

I'm not saying that twisted won't be able to cater for your needs (it  
caters for most of mine). Just pointing you to possible alternatives...
