Why wouldn't this be particularly slow? You're running a potentially inefficient web server with a proxy webserver in front of it. Doing this with Python's built in webserver (as seen in Django and such) with Apache proxying is very inefficient and performs poorly compared to Apache with mod_python or cgi. Even replacing Apache with something LigHTTPd only marginally makes things faster, since the bottleneck is Python's webserver.<p>I don't understand why this wouldn't also occur with Hutchentoot. I would think a CGI interface, or a mod_lisp written much like mod_python or mod_php, would be significantly faster.<p>So, all that said, is Hutchentoot a bottleneck?
Did anyone else notice this on the same site?<p><a href="http://www.newartisans.com/blog_files/ready.lisp.on.osx.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.newartisans.com/blog_files/ready.lisp.on.osx.php</a><p>Zero fuss way to get started with Common Lisp on Mac OS X.
