Google Apps is not faster. Neither is Youtube.
Facebook and Wikipedia (Mediawiki), written in PHP, are so much faster
than Python.
Okay, they probably use caching or some code compilation -- but Google
Apps and those Zope sites probably also use caching.
I've yet to see a web application written in Python which is really
fast.
You are just dead wrong about this. Bad programmers will write slow software in
any language. There are some HUGE sites using Zope. I think much of Google's
software is written in Python. I have programs that have surprised me with
their speed. If your Python program is slow, you have almost assuredly
approached it with a wrong method or algorithm. www.websafe.com is completely
written in Python and we support thousands of users uploading data
simultaneously at wire speed (and that includes AES-256 encryption on our end).
