+1.  Looks like a harmless optimization.

We may want also want to set a 'maximum-requests' on the
WSGIDaemonProcess, as to help mitigate any memory leaks within the stack
(as opposed to having to use our restart-memhogs cronjob).  Bodhi's is
currently set to 1000, but we should probably agree on a sane number and
make it consistent throughout our infrastructure.  Our TurboGears SOP
also needs to be updated to reflect our new WSGI deployments as well.
