I’ve fixed all the stuff that prevented CTemplate from running on linux and did a quick test of FOW and Django using ab (apache benchmark).

Benchmark consisted of resolving a typical URL regexp, loading handler, loading template and rendering static context onto it. Both Django and FOW were running with 2 threads attached to lighttpd via FCGI.
