You're inventing words that you think I said. The 'default' config is entirely appropriate for django apps, it is however not high performance. I say 'default', because it is only the default on certain OS. On the platform we serve on, FreeBSD, it is a simple choice which MPM to choose, and the default configuration for Apache configured with worker or event MPM is entirely on par with nginx/lighty. On top of that, you get all the advantages of being part of the Apache ecosystem. Apache 2.4.0 will be released this week (probably), with a mass of enhancements: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html I'd thoroughly recommend not ignoring Apache in search of the new cool.
