I don't think it matters much what server you use for this type of service.
We've been using FastCGI for two fairly large JSON services (11K lines) for
a year with no problems. Warp and Snap are also sufficient. Is speed a big
concern? Otherwise the iterators will be a bit pointless. I'm with you on
forgeting about worrying about the server for this type of service and
calling it a day.
