mod_python vs. mod_wsgi
Posted by David on July 17, 2008 at 9:15 a.m.
I've just switched this blog site over to mod_wsgi as opposed to mod_python and it appears to have reduced the memory usage by about 1-2mb per instance of httpd. I don't know if this is "normal", as this is really only my second long running Django site, but I'll take all the savings I can get.
My typical httpd instance for the site is now hovering around 16mb now. Previously, it was about 17-18mb. I'll have to try moving my other site over as well and see if the usage comes down there as well.
