Surprising indeed.
Why then the static content is so much slower is again weird. It almost looks like there's a fixed speed for WSGI. Someone who knows more about how the WSGI support may be able to say more...
WSGI in itself should not make a difference there. However, if the WSGI server used is Twisted, then Twisted has a higher overhead per request than ZServer. However, these results seem to indicate that this overhead suddenly becomes the major factor, which clearly is impossible.
the number of concurrent requests were 100
It's usually a good idea to test this with smaller numbers of concurrent requests as well, to see how speed reacts to increasing loads. Those WSGI tests make no sense, I think they are somehow faulty.
