I would really like to know *how* many people are using mod_wsgi :).

Not sure to unserstand, but that's not a problem, since each worker 
handle multiple connections to backend.

The only problem is to find the right number of worker processes to use 
for the Nginx instance with mod_wsgi, or how many Nginx instances to use.

However if you are going to use more then one Nginx instance with 
mod_wsgi on the same server, then I think its better to try Apache mod_wsgi.

Using more instances complicates the handling of logs and the server 
management, so you should do this only if really necessary, IMHO.
