Ok, now this is interesting.  The performance metrics are pretty
interesting too.
Anyone played with it yet?  I haven't had a chance -- been ripping
apart and reassembling pdfs ;)

"FriendFeed's web server is a relatively simple, non-blocking web
server written in Python. The FriendFeed application is written using
a web framework that looks a bit like web.py or Google's webapp, but
with additional tools and optimizations to take advantage of the
non-blocking web server and tools."

It uses epoll (from Linux kernel), interesting.
