Which language are most comfortable ?
Python is great, easy, elegant, and even for non hard programmers, its
easy to maintain.

Django is very Pythonic. I mean, Django keeps all characteristics from
the Python language.
 if you know Python, you don't have to "learn" the framework.
when you try a new web framework you always have to learn something,
but with django its not that hard !

A simple user register app can be made in 30 minutes in django or less.
My experience says, that the harder part of a good public application
is to build a good user interface and  look and feel (js ). MY
EXPERIENCE!
Django will not interfere on it !

Django has different ways to cache , that has been improved since
version 0.96 (or earlier)
Its very possible one of those will meet your needs.
and then, look for a good  server (nginx may be a choice) , to work
with python. you have some options! :)
