flup vs uWSGI with cherokee

flup is slightly faster than uWSGI at this point but this has to be put into perspective and you need to take into consideration the features that come with uWSGI, an exhaustive list can be found here. uWSGI is unable to complete the ab test with the following argument -n 1000 -c 100 with its default settings you will need to adjust the timeout socket and socket listen queue. However it is interesting to note that the memory footprint for uwsgi is lower by an order of magnitude and that my laptop remains responsive during the ab test using uWSGI where it was almost taken down by same test with flup.
