In theory, Django with mod_python should be faster than the
equivalent in PHP because PHP has to read and interpret the scripts
every time, while mod_python loads them once from disk and keeps the
compiled code in memory. If you were using one of the PHP
accelerators however PHP should have the same thing going for it.
How much traffic are you talking about? www.kusports.com uses Django
and gets hit with some pretty heavy traffic at times.
chacagocrime.org has weathered a slashdotting or two thanks to
Django's caching framework.
