Comparisons of lines of code or development time are interesting, but they're not that empirical. Lines of code is a notoriously dubious metric (especially when you compare code from different authors), and implementation time? Well you have two different developers working, and presumably they have different brains, so these numbers don't mean that much to me, either.
There are a bunch of ways to deploy django too. But if you picked a few sensible deployment options for both, and tested them, you'd get numbers that are at least as useful and as scientific as the rest of the article. It would be a very interesting data point as well, since the ultimate conclusion is that rails is more concise, it would be extremely interesting to know if that concission results in better performance, or whether it's just because Rails has more magic.

Performance is definitely a factor, but do you think that it has a place in this article? There are so many ways to deploy a Rails application, which would you include? A book has been written on the subject, covering even half of them in little detail would easily double the article in size. :P If you're going to include works in progress then it's also worth mentioning that the Rails documentation drive has collected over $16,000 USD for professionally written documentation. Just trying to keep things even.

Yes. Performance. This article deliberately skims over performance,
but I'd suggest that's an important factor in people's decisions.
Another factor: the amount of good documentation. Rails has books that
cost money and skimpy free documentation, whereas Django has no
commercial books (yet) but fantastic free documentation, plus a free
book that's in the process of being finished ( djangobook.com). Dozens
of people have told me this is a key Django advantage in their
experiences.
