Hey, that's quite cool. Performance with an SCGI app is marginally faster,
but the daemon uses less resources (mostly ram) in filling the same roll.

Where it really seems to shine is serving static files, seems to be 2X faster
than Apache 1.3 in my quickie cheapo test. Looks like it would survive a /.
ing on even modest hardware. 

Neat that it comes with SCGI out of the box.
