opening a connection on a LAN is much cheaper than accross the
internet. on Localhost even more so. it's common for a proxy not to
do keepalive on the backend.

also, you can think of any non-mod_python setup to be a proxy in front
of a Django app. It's most evident when using nginx, (which is first
of all a loadbalancer/proxy with a (fast!) static file serving
afterthought), there you set the FastCGI process much like any HTTP
backend server.
