1.1 Performance
</H1>

<P>
One of the main advantages of mod_python is the increase in
  performance over traditional CGI. Below are results of a very crude
  test. The test was done on a 1.2GHz Pentium machine running Red Hat
  Linux
  7.3. <em class="citetitle"><a
 href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/programs/ab.html"
 title="Ab"
 >Ab</a></em>
  was used to poll 4 kinds of scripts, all of which imported the
  standard cgi module (because this is how a typical Python cgi script
  begins), then output a single word "<tt class="samp">Hello!</tt>". The results are
  based on 10000 requests with concurrency of 1.

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
    Standard CGI:               23 requests/s
    Mod_python cgihandler:     385 requests/s
    Mod_python publisher:      476 requests/s
    Mod_python handler:       1203 requests/s
</pre></div>
