CherryPy and concurrency
Your client needs to actually READ the server's response. Otherwise the socket/thread will stay open/running until timeout and garbage collected.
use a client that behaves correctly and you'll see that your server will behave too.
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?
