Well, we don't have load enough to find bottlenecks.  Neither we have
time to prepare a stress test.

Our implementation is a single python script that uses python-fuse and
pymongo.  Altogether, they seem to work concurrently (with threads) and
cooperate nicely.  Although everything is mostly IO bound, eventually we
may hit the GIL wall, in such case we will have to reconsider our
solution.

You may have better luck with Lua, in case you do threading, by using a
different interpreter instance per-thread (just like mod_wsgi does with
Python).

Cheers.
