I really don't think the learning curve will be a problem. We learned 
Django while using it for an app, and the app was completed and 
delivered within a week (total 8 man/day). Granted, it was a dead simple 
app, but it would have take as much time doing it in PHP. The last one 
we did was not trivial, and was ready to deliver in 2 weeks - one week 
before schedule. This very first release is still running, and we didn't 
have a single bug report. Not to say that Django is a silver-bullet, but 
it's actually the best tool we found for sql-based web apps so far.

FWIW, when it comes to web apps, and given a reasonnably well 
designe/implemented app, "performance" is more a matter of 
tuning/hardware/etc than anything else.
