Re: Some notes on porting from Webware to Skunkweb

Well, two reasons I suppose.  One is that I've been reading
a lot lately about how silicon has effectively hit the wall
in terms of CPU heat dissipation: manufacturers such as AMD,
Intel, and IBM are turning to mutlicore processors to acieve
further increases in performance.  My web site is rather
floating-point intensive, so this is an area of interest to
me.  I'm particularly interested in the Cell processor.  If
I stick with Webware, multiple CPU or multicore CPU servers
will not yield performance improvements for my site due to
Python's Global Interpreter Lock with Webware, where the
GIL is not a consideration using Skunkweb on such servers.

The second is that I'm curious about Skunkweb.
