Wheatserver是通用的C实现的通用服务器以及框架，更多的请参考Wheatserver
WSGI应用服务器众多，较为出色的有uWSGI，Gunicorn，gevent和Apache mod_wsgi。性能评测参考http://nichol.as/benchmark-of-python-web-servers
为了比较Wheatserver的性能并且为了省事，我选取了在该评测中性能最为出色的gevent实现的WSGI应用服务器，主要考查了内存消耗，简单App下相应速度，带数据库连接的相应速度和带搜索的服务访问能力。Http测试客户端使用Apache ab。
由于Wheatserver是多工作进程模式，而gevent是单进程单线程模式，所以为了避免Wheatserver多进程的干扰，我们同样只使用一个进程的Wheatserver。
同样是Hello world应用
#!/usr/bin/python
def application(env, start_response):
start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type', 'text/html')])
return ["<b>hello world</b>"]

简单App下，平均相应时间是gevent的二分之一，主要是没有IO操作，C实现的Wheatserver自然更快。

在带有数据库连接的访问中，我们可以发现两者相差不多，响应时间主要以IO为主，Wheatserver略微占优。

在带搜索服务的对比上，可以发现两者更为一致，基本不分伯仲。
最后看一下两者在内存上对比，gevent在同样App下保持37MB的内存，而Wheatserver同样以35MB差不多。值得注意的是Wheatserver的内存消耗量多是因为Python应用的运行和预分配内存机制的存在，在实际运行中，Wheatserver的内存量会比gevent略低。考虑到gevent依赖libevent,greenlet等库，内存量应该稍多于Wheatserver。但gevent以Python实现的服务器能达到如此低的内存也令人惊讶。
Wheatserver在作为Http服务器方面由于IO比重大，主要CPU时间在应用上，因此优势比之Gevent不大。在静态文件发送上，Wheatserver可以做到与Nginx媲美的响应速度和能力，并且是在Wheatserver并没有使用缓存的基础上。
