In general, I don't think you should use direct connect for a
deployed application. It isn't really meant for this, and the HTTP
handling stuff built into WO, that's used for direct connect, is not
really very robust. When I was even just allowing direct connect
accidentally, I had problems with deadlock that were due to no
available HTTP worker threads in the WO app. This may have been
related to exactly what I was doing (which is too complicated to
explain here), but it still suggests to me that using direct connect
isn't really suitable for anything by testing and development (which
is what it's intended for). Chuck Hill will tell you it's not even
suitable for that, and should never be used.

In the thread, "Advice on dynamic graphics with WO", Karl mentioned
running apps in direct connect mode, bypassing the web server. In
general, does anyone know beneficial this is? Is it small enough
that only very heavy loads would benefit, or is there an appreciable
difference even for small loads? I've never really thought about it
and that comment caught my eye.
