All my numbers are based on running the seed program (tilecache_seed.py)
-- it reports the number of tiles per second that it is loading. It's
not the most accurate benchmark in the world (since it does sequential
access), but it is a useful one.   

Other than that, I don't have anything.

Note that under mod_python, your Apache settings are really important:
You'll want to ensure NumRequestsPerChild is relatively high, since the
startup time for TileCache is somewhat high, especially with many layers
or if you are using Mapnik rendering.
