Not at webfaction where I have various versions of LC Server running as 
as cgi via a Caudium server which in turn runs behind nginx (and maybe 
Apache, I'm not sure if they've left the Apache layer in for the 
deployment of webapps, since putting nginx up front, and am too lazy to 
look it up because it still works so why should I care :D). Request 
handling is fractionally slower since LC 6.5 but the discernable delay 
doesn't seem to have increased here for LC 7. I've already reported that 
script handling is 3 to 4 times slower in LC 7, but that's a different 
issue.
