This document discusses various techniques for improving performance of Python web applications, including WSGI, processes, threads, gevent, and asyncio. It explains that WSGI is a standard for Python web servers to interface with frameworks, and that uWSGI and Gunicorn are common WSGI servers. It also discusses how to optimize processes and threads in uWSGI, and how gevent can be used to improve I/O performance by using greenlets instead of native threads. There is no single best approach and performance tuning requires testing different configurations.
