I can't say for certain now, but I'm pretty sure I switched from
apache + mod_wsgi to uwsgi. In any case uwsgi is what I've set up on
my Rackspace server. So far so good. I'm happy with the results. While
I understand webfaction's need to control resource usage I really
didn't appreciate that they kept killing my only process, my web
process. I'm encouraged by your results. Thanks for sharing.
