The advantages are that a) you can do some URL mapping to static content (e.g.
'/images/' to a directory and b) you can pass requests on to a different port
then 80 which solves the 'Squeak-binds-to-all-addresses' problem (it doesn't
solve the problem that your users still can do harm to each other by binding
to other-than-assigned-ports).

swiki.squeakfoundation.org has used 5737 minutes of CPU time (user-mode
Linux on a dual Xeon 700), and I think it has been running since June 30,
so that's almost exactly three months. It's a VM I built from 3.2-4743
with the itimer thingy, I think it's entirely ok to use it on a server
like that.
