Ok, I *just* have read the ticket. Thanks.

This is a complex task...

However there are good news.

1) Directory listing is much faster in web2.
    static.File('/usr/bin')

    ab -n 100 -c 1

    web: 0.63 req/sec
    web2: 17.25 req/sec


    ab -n 100 -c 25

    web: timed out
    web2 17.34


2) With keep alive enabled, web2 performs better
    (the same code as in the original post)

    ab -n 100 -c 1

    web: 1398 req/sec
    nevow: 1049 req/sec
    web2: 1186 req/sec

    ab -n 500 -c 50

    web: 1756 req/sec
    nevow: 1202 req/sec
    web2: 1273 req/sec


The result, here, is that web2 is as fast as Nevow.
