One of the reasons to use web2py mentioned in the book is the following:

web2py has a small footprint and is very fast. It uses the Rocket WSGI web server developed By Timothy Farrell. It is 30% faster than Apache with mod_proxy.

I don't really understand the second sentence. Should it say Apache with mod_wsgi?

Good catch. That sentence is there since the second edition. Yes, I
meant mod_wsgi but this needs to be tested again since there are newer
versions of mod_wsgi.

I can do that:. Is the following environment relevant?

- ubuntu 11.10 on a kvm virtual instance (mod_wsgi 3.3 - latest)

- web2py with the default setup from scripts/setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh

- ab -n1000 -c20 http://localhost/ and ab -n1000 -c20 http://localhost:8000/

I also have to report two public website made with web2py: http://avocadosoft.ro/ and http://firmoasa.appspot.com/, is this a good place to report them or should I do it somewhere else?
