Hi.

Doing some tests with mod_wsgi, I have found some "problems" with worker processes usage.

I have worker_processes set to 2 (and I have a Dual Core CUP).

When a WSGI app "quickly" return a chunk of data (and write it at once), nginx seems to use only one process, serializing all the requestes.

How can I optimize the code so that nginx can use all the worker processes?

I have found that if the WSGI app calls, as an example, sleep(0.01), then nginx will use all of its worker processes (but this slow down the response time: 159.52 req/sec vs 2848.19 req/sec)

Thanks Manlio Perillo
