Whereas in regular cgi:

Your maximum response time is only 0.4

Erlang isn't reliable.. according to the benchmark...

A customer comes to the website and waits 9 seconds sometimes and sometimes he waits 24 seconds. You're fired.

My customer waits 0.4 max.

p.s. LightWebServer + Powtils seems to fork 180 TTPS beating out both YAWS and Xitami.. but LightWebServer is not ready for production yet (it is a demented cheetah that goes fast but crashes threads and we are working on it).
