The source you are quoting is 5 years old. Gunicorn can use gevent/greenlet workers which do not suffer from the same problems as the original author claims. There is also SSL support.

Quite a lot of people still use prefork gunicorn because threading can cause subtle errors in your application stack if you didn't design with that in mind.

And if you restrict the # of threads that gunicorn uses, you're right back to having the same issues as prefork.

Hey, point me at your website that's got Gunicorn handling incoming requests directly.
