To stick with your analogy, it actually *is* like buying a car and being surprised you don't get 0-60 in 5 seconds and 80 mpg, but only because you will only drive it in second gear. And then you blame the dealer.. >From the way you talk about Apache, you are fearful of it, because you don't know how to use it correctly, you are uncertain of how to configure it correctly, and you are doubtful that it will do it's job properly even if it was configured properly. It is classic FUD. Millions and millions of websites do run quite nicely on Apache, and we don't spend a lot of time configuring Apache to make it do so. I'm not saying that Cherokee or Tornado or any other web stack isn't fast, just that any FCGI/WSGI container will do pretty much the same job in pretty much the same manner, with pretty much the same results, especially when the FCGI/WSGI app it is connecting to is something reasonably heavy, like django can be.
