[Web-SIG] Fwd: wsgiref.simple_server slow on slow network

[Tibor Arpas]

A quick comment after we know where is the problem.(see previous mail)
Being a newbie I wrote to this list in the first place. I couldn't
really tell if it is or not wsgiref related.

Also sorry not to mention it sooner, at first i tried both the
single-threaded/multithreaded scenarios and it made no difference. So
I based the test cases using single-threaded server and
single-threaded client only.

I bumped into this problem using a library called Tilecache
(tilecache.org), which provides little standalone script to try things
out using simple_server.It's library to speed things up so the 3
seconds/request overhead was very bad. I think It would be nice to
have a production quality HTTP-WSGI server in the standard library at
least for low traffic sites.
