Tim can add more but here is my impression. Cherrypy has a pluses, it is fast and has been tested a lot, but has some minuses too, it is hard to read, does not work with python 3.0 and requires OpenSSL.
I tried to rewrite with gluon/sneaky, which also was 2x faster than cherrypy's but did not have the time to test its wsgi compliance and bring it to production. Timothy took this very seriously and wrote a new server from scratch that is very readable, requires SSL instead of OpenSSL (and it is better because it comes with Python >=2.6), runs on python 2.x and 3.x. It scales better with multiple concurrent connections. He showed me some benchmarks for an older version. We all look forward to see he most updated benchmarks.
