I am trying to set up Mediacore (which is a Pylons app) on a production server. The docs suggest either apache mod_fastcgi or mod_wsgi as webserver but I try to avoid apache at any cost because of its being RAM-monger. On the other hand mediacore works just fine when I use it with paster, so I am wondering what are pros/cons of just ignoring apache and use paster as my production web server?

Plaster is a building material used for the protective or decorative coating of walls and ceilings and for moulding and casting decorative elements. In English, "plaster" usually means a material used for the interiors of buildings, while "render" commonly refers to external applications.
Plaster was used for centuries as a wall covering and it wasn't until the mid-1940s that it began to be replaced in favor of newer and faster option, drywall.
Plaster powders/dust potentially may irritate eyes or sensitive skin or irritate the respiratory system. Any effects should be short term.
A common casting medium, plaster is also a popular pick for making molds. Using this substance, which is manufactured in powder form, is ideal when you want a rigid structure to make casts as an alternative to using silicone or polyurethane molds.
As your load grows, you may hit the CPU or DB limit. The typical answer is using several parallel backends. Then an nginx or lighttpd or whatever light HTTP server will come in handy and will allow you to distribute load to several paster servers and serve static files cheaply.
Up until then you're probably safe to run just paster, especially if you have excess CPU to waste on serving static files.
