+Bugzilla can run as a PSGI application, which greatly improves performance
+compared to mod_cgi.

+#. Install the `Plack <http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/Plack/script/plackup>`_
+   module. This will install the :file:`plackup` script used below.
+
+#. Run :file:`plackup` from the :file:`bugzilla/` root directory:

+
+   This command starts :file:`plackup` using the

+   Other PSGI handlers can be used, such as
