I'm assuming you're talking about GhostWhiteCrab here. Comparing a
dedicated process written in C to a bloated cgi script is not
realistic.

If the limitation is traffic, or file descriptors, or whatever, an UHC
will scale much better. Note that an UHC can only run as a dedicated
process and I'm sure even if written in python it will scale better
than the best cgi-based gwebcaches out there.

They'd do much better if they fixed their clients not to generate
~1/3rd of all requests to GwebCaches. This is totally
disproportionate from their market share.

There will only be reasonable stats if we - the gdf - come up with
ones. Since the server-side of this system is not yet designed, we
have a chance to make a fresh start and Do Things Right(tm).
