Wikibrowse is a self-contained wiki server that written on pyton. Actually we have two possibility
Use this server and improve it, or get another server and optimize it.
It seems the second way is better 'cause we have not debug new code.

I reviewed the next materials:
- http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lighttpd/PoweredByLighttpd
- http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lighttpd/PoweredByLighttpd
- http://www.lighttpd.net/benchmark
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_web_servers
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_servers
- http://www.nginx.net/
The conclusion is: in first step we not have to think about performance and we should use more stable server. Is it lighthttpd.

Thank you. I'll try to install lighttpd via yum or compile it.
