We have switched to nginx + uWSGI for our Django projects,
in preference to the more standard Apache + mod_wsgi. Yet
to do real benchmarking, but initial results show a significant
gain in performance.

Haven't looked at the uWSGI spooler yet, as things that we need
offline tasks for, such as mail, use Celery which is better supported
by Django apps, e.g., django-celery-mail.

uWSGI is interesting. Besides the base features, we will also be
looking at its caching performance, auto-scaling, and asynchronous
access.
