Zulip macrobenchmark

[bennn]

Mrigank spent a lot of time on zulip and it's not working yet.

Script in progress, run this to install zulip + static python:
afc2e31

After installing, this command should work:

./manage.py rundjangoserver --settings=zproject.settings 127.0.0.1:9992

Currently, it prints two lines and stops.

One idea: carve out a small part of Zulip.

We should be able to remove Tornado & WebPack (front end?).

We can't remove Django though, so this is blocked on #7 for a working version of Django. (We'll see if Instagram's django works with zulip.)

EDIT: baseline Django is fine with SP. The problem is in one of the many Django extensions that Zulip needs .... unclear which one.
