That sounds really nice, and it would be great if the Albatross maintainers at 
Object Craft could incorporate it into Albatross in due course.  Our apps involve 
statistical and have a large start-up overhead (several seconds) and also involve 
things like memory-mapping of on-disc arrays (thanks to Dave Cole of Object 
Craft, who wrote the C code to do this). I suspect that they will have real difficulty 
as a mod_python process, but shouldn't have any problems as a persistent, or at 
least relatively long-running pool of FastCGI processes.
