CherryPy and concurrency

cherrypy, concurrency, python, wsgi

Solution

By default, CherryPy's builtin HTTP server will use a thread pool with 10 threads. If you are still using the defaults, you could try increasing this in your config file.

[global]
server.thread_pool = 30

- See the cpserver documentation

- Or the archive.org copy of the old documentation

Problem

I'm using CherryPy in order to serve a python application through WSGI. I tried benchmarking it, but it seems as if CherryPy can only handle exactly 10 req/sec. No matter what I do. Built a simple app with a 3 second pause, in order to accurately determine what is going on... and I can confirm that the 10 req/sec has nothing to do with the resources used by the python script. __ Any ideas?
