It is not only _slightly_ faster. It is a beast.

IMHO WSGI is _only_ a new way of talking to webservers, like apache.
It is as low-level as (f)cgi, so don't expect too much support at this 
stage -
indeed a module like the cgi one in the std lib would be nice.
As google uses it (mod_wsgi), I would suspect you can use it.
